The White Buffalo - This Year



INTRO: C  F

 C
Another year older, it came and went

Blood and the tears and the money spent
    F
The new year's here with the same old cast

We dance and we drink like it may be our last
C
Buzzing and waiting for the countdown to come

Feels like slow motion, from ten to one
  F
A kiss and the fireworks light the sky

Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne
      G
Let's focus on this night alone
                                C
Just hope that we make it home alive



The Earth it turns, spring rushes in

Days get longer and nights grow thin
F
Mother wakes up a little brighter than before

Cold melts away and the gardens grow
    C
The air is crisp and the fields are sweet

Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet
F
Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing

Fill up the day with the songs they bring
      G
And I don't feel much like singing at all
                                      C
Seasons change, but I don't change at all


CHORUS:
                Am
Well, I've done wrong
                F             C
Well, I've done right, that's clear
               Am
Maybe I'll get better
              F               C
Maybe I'll be different, this year



Ooh, here comes summer, well it's coming in hot

No shirt, no school, give it all you got
    F
The sun, it calls, so let's go outside

Toasting our drinks in the warm sunshine
    C
The asphalt smoulders in the city streets

You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet
F
Splashing and yelling, the cannonball

Enough love and laughter for one and all
       G 
Oh the future's, future's looking bright
                                        C
I think that I might get it right after all



Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind

Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again
     F
Like embers, they float into the streets

Golden and red at the fancy feast
            C
Well, let's close all the curtains, let's stay inside

No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die
      F
Well, how could it all fall apart so fast

And why would I think it would ever last?
     G
When everything is dying
                       C
Well, how can I feel alive?


CHORUS:
         G6 Am
Oh, life is short
          G6   F          C
Well, all good days disappear
                Am
Maybe I've been lost
               F             C
Maybe I'll get found, this year



Well, the winter and the cold come storming in

Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin
F
Day's too short and the night's too long

Carollers came, I can't sing along
    C
Oh, money's all gone, don't know where it went

Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent
        F
And the lights go out to a silent night

And all you can do is just stay in the fight
      G
And I just can't see the wrong
                           C
And I just can't see the right


CHORUS:
            Am
Oh, life is hard
          F               C
I've been fighting, a failure
                Am
Maybe I've been lost
                     F             C
Don't think I'll get found, this year


CHORUS:
           G6   Am
Well, I've done wrong
           G6   F              C
Well, I've done right, that's clear
                   Am
But maybe I'll get better
              F                 C
Maybe I'll be different, next year
