[Verse]

G D/F# Em C

You made me feel like I'm OK, I could be happy.

G D/F# Em C

Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing

[Segue]

Em D C Em

Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down

Em D C Em

Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.

[Verse]

I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something

I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?

[Chorus]

Em D C G

You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.

Em D C G

I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try.

[Verse]

I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me

We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely

[Bridge]

B7 Em C

When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up.

B7 Em C

I like the streets when they're empty, I can make the rest up.

[Outro]

G Em D C

Every day is New Year's Eve, every night is the last night.

G Em D C

Every day is New Year's Eve, every time is the last time.
