C                   F
Next years gonna be better
F                     C
Next year will surely be the one
C                     G
It's right around the corner
G         F            C
Hell It's just about begun

C                          F
So what am i still sittin' here for
F                Am     C
When everyones inside
C                        G       F
What am I doing drinking whiskey
F        G             C
Looking for a place to hide

C                     F
Yeah old buddy I sure miss you
F                      C
You and old what's his name
C                        G
And I know if y'all were here now
F             G              C
This party wouldn't be so damn lame

C                                   F
There'd be dancing and cussing and fighting and laughing
F                     Am            C
We'd raise our voices to the sky
C                          G
We'd bring the New Year in right
F              G           C
Instead of watching time go by


[Chorus 1]

Em               F               G              Am
Yeah sometimes I wonder What the world would be like
Em               F               G
If I didn't have strangers as my best friends
Am                  Em                  F                    C
I'm sitting here on New Years thinking 'bout old friends and old times
Dm                    F
We'll never see them again

[Solo]

C, F, C, G, F, C
C, F, Am, G, F, G, C

[Chorus 2]

Em                    F                G                  Am
Yeah, sometimes I still wonder what my life would've been like
Em               F               G
If I didn't have angels at my defense
Am                  Em                  F                    C
I'm sitting here on New Years, singing 'bout old friends and old times
Dm                    F
We'll never see them again

C                        F
But next year's gonna be better
F                        C
Next year will surely be great
C                         G
Well, I guess I should say This year
F             G      C
Geez, how did it get so late

C                             F
What am I doing still sitting here for
F                  Am      C
When did everybody leave
C                             G
What am I doing here drinking whiskey
   F          G          C
Oh yeah, it's New Year's Eve
