This only happens in the intro, though. Verse: D A Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush Em G And a Monday morning cry A G It's the tail that you keep chasing A G And it gets away every time D A New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe Em G Another Zodiac's gone around A G While you drank yourself high on hoping A G And watched the ceiling spin from the ground Pre-chorus: F# Counting down from ten it's time Bm To make your annual prayer F# Secret Santa in the sky Bm E When will I get my share Chorus: Em D Then you tell yourself A E What you want to hear Em G Cause you have to believe A D A Em G This will be my year D A Em G This will be my year Verse: D A Pound your fist and cross it off your list Em G But you know you're not that strong A G When the man at the stop light catches you A G Singing along to a brand new song Well maybe it's D A Trash or the overnight smash that brings your Em G Ship crashing through the wall A G So you can make your grand departure A G >From a world getting way too small Pre-chorus: F# One wheel in the ditch another Bm Spinning in the air F# Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not Bm E Getting anywhere Chorus: Em D Then you tell yourself A E What you want to hear Em G Cause you have to believe A D A Em G This will be my year D A Em G This will be my year D A Em G This will be my year D A Em G This will be my year Outro: D A Em G until end.
