F           C                 Dm
I'm not the first to say good bye
     Am                   Bb    F       Bb      C
To a love I thought would never pass me by
F              C              Dm
And I'm not so good at giving in
      Am                Bb             F                Bb      C
But I know when I have tried my best I still can't win

    F
But next year
  C
I swear
  Dm        Am
I will be a better man
        Bb            F                  Bb     C
With a better plan of getting out of here
    F
But each time
C
I find
Dm              Am
Nothing really changes
      Bb              F               Bb        C
But I still say, It's been a good year

F       C                 Dm
I won't pretend to answer why
        Am          Bb                    F         Bb          C
We are never at the place we thought we'd be in time
F           C        Dm
But I'm not angry anymore
       Am
You go do your thing
    Bb
You Do your thing
        F             Bb        C
I won't hold you back anymore

    F
But next year
  C
I swear
  Dm        Am
I will be a better man
        Bb            F                  Bb     C
With a better plan of getting out of here
    F
But each time
C
I find
Dm              Am
Nothing really changes
      Bb              F               Bb        C
But I still say, It's been a good year

Bb        C              Dm
And as we say goodbye to what we've lost
    Am             Bb
And what was taken away
            C                 Dm
I think I'd have to say we're better off
       Am             Bb
Having lived it every day
    C              Dm
The way we were in life
  Am            Bb
I miss it every day
    C             Dm        Gm
The way were when life came round

       F                C
Should Auld aquaintance be forgot,
    F                Bb
And never brought to mind?
       F                C
Should auld aquaintance be forgot,
    Dm      Bb   C    F
And days of auld lang syne

             C                   Dm
This year it seemed like getting through
    Am             Bb      F          Bb        C
Was just about the hardest thing to do
F           C        Dm
But I'm not angry anymore
       Am
You go do your thing
    Bb
You Do your thing
        F             Bb        C
I won't hold you back anymore

    F
But next year
  C
I swear
  Dm        Am
I will be a better man
        Bb            F                  Bb     C
With a better plan of breaking out of here
    F
But each time
C
I find
Dm              Am
Nothing really changes
      Bb              F               Bb        C
But I still say, It's been a good year

    F
But next year
  C
I swear
  Dm        Am
I will be a better man
        Bb            F                  Bb     C
With a better plan of getting out of here
    F
But each time
C
I find
Dm              Am
Nothing really changes
      Bb              F               Bb        C
But I still say, It's been a good year

       F      C
For auld lang syne, my dear
    F         Bb
For auld lang syne
       F                C
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
    Dm   Bb   C  F
For auld la - ng syne

            C                 Dm
I'm not the first to say good bye
     Am                   Bb    F       Bb      C
To a love I thought would never pass me by
