New Years Day

(there are some minors in here I don’t notate)

F-D
You danced your ass off,
back on new years day
You danced your ass off,
back on new years day
You tried so hard
You tried so hard

G-C
but no one wanted to stay

F-D
you counted off the moves 1 two three
you counted off the moves 1 two
three
G-C
but everyone
still wanted to leave
F-D
It's a simple move
that you learned in school,
It's a simple move
that you learned in school,
but it wasn't in classroom, (Noo)
and it wasn't in a textbook. (Noo)

G-C
and it wasn't at a sweaty Ween show
and it wasn't for some girl you used to know
G-C
and it wasn't from a textbook
and it wasn't based on some dirty look

F-D-G-C
You tried so hard, but no gives you a chance.
You tried so hard but no one would dance)) x 2

instrumental
(F) x 2
(F-D) x 7 (or 11)
(G-C) x 2
if only Everyone would take their time
if only Everyone would just surrender
It's New Years day you will remember

G-C
Look behind you can see December

F-D
It's a simple move
that you learned in school,
but it wasn't in classroom, (Noo) and it wasn't in a textbook. (Noo)
G-C
nooo, and it wasn't at a sweaty Ween show
and it wasn't for some girl you used to know
G-C
and it wasn't from a textbook
and it wasn't based on some dirty look

F-D-G-C
you only see each other once a year or less
so why does everyone have to leave this party so fast?

You tried so hard, but no gives you a chance.
You tried so hard but no one would dance
