[Intro]
D* A*  Em   G(4x)
* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string
on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open
until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording.  This only
happens in the intro, though.
[Verse]
DThursday's crush is a AFriday night rush
And a EmMonday morning Gcry
It's the Atail that you keep chaGsing
And it Agets away every Gtime
DNew Year's Eve and it's Ahard to believe
Another EmZodiac's gone arGound
While you Adrank yourself high on hoGping
And watched the Aceiling spin from the gGround
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Counting down from ten it's time
To make Bmyour annual prayer
F#Secret Santa in the sky
When Bmwill I get my sharEe
[Chorus]
Then you Emtell yourselfD  
What you Awant to hearE  
Cause you Emhave to believeG  
This will Abe my yearD  A  Em  G  
This will be my DyearA  Em  G  
[Verse]
DPound your fist and cross it Aoff your list
But you Emknow you're not that strGong
When the Aman at the stop light Gcatches you
Singing alAong to a brand new songG  
Well maybe it's
DTrash or the overnight Asmash that brings your 
EmShip crashing through the wallG  
So you can Amake your grand departureG  
>From a Aworld getting way too sGmall
[Pre-Chorus]
F#One wheel in the ditch another
BmSpinning in the air
F#Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not 
BmGetting anywhereE  
[Chorus]
Then you Emtell yourselfD  
What you Awant to hearE  
Cause you Emhave to believeG  
This will Abe my yearD  A  Em  G  
This will be my DyearA  Em  G  
This will be my DyearA  Em  G  
This will be my DyearA  Em  G

[Intro]

D A Em G

* * (4x)

* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string

on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open

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]

Counting down from ten it's time

To make your annual prayer

Secret Santa in the sky

When will I get my share

[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]

One wheel in the ditch another

Spinning in the air

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
