This Will Be My Year Semisonic
"This Could Be My Year" (words and music my Jacob Slichter)
Semisonic
from the album "Feeling Strangely Fine" (MCAD/11733)
Transcribed by Daniel Pike (dpike0@gtc.georgetown.ky.us)
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:
[D]Thursday's crush is a [A]Friday night rush
And a [Em]Monday morning [G]cry
It's the [A]tail that you keep cha[G]sing
And it [A]gets away every [G]time
[D]New Year's Eve and it's [A]hard to believe
Another [Em]Zodiac's gone ar[G]ound
While you [A]drank yourself high on ho[G]ping
And watched the [A]ceiling spin from the g[G]round
Pre-chorus:
[F#]Counting down from ten it's time
To make[Bm] your annual prayer
[F#]Secret Santa in the sky
When [Bm]will I get my shar[E]e
Chorus:
Then you [Em]tell yourself [D]
What you [A]want to hear [E]
Cause you [Em]have to believe [G]
This will [A]be my year [D] [A] [Em] [G]
This will be my [D]year [A] [Em] [G]
Verse:
[D]Pound your fist and cross it [A]off your list
But you [Em]know you're not that str[G]ong
When the [A]man at the stop light [G]catches you
Singing al[A]ong to a brand new song[G]
Well maybe it's
[D]Trash or the overnight [A]smash that brings your
[Em]Ship crashing through the wall[G]
So you can [A]make your grand departure[G]
>From a[A] world getting way too s[G]mall
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]Getting anywhere [E]
Chorus:
Then you [Em]tell yourself [D]
What you [A]want to hear [E]
Cause you [Em]have to believe [G]
This will [A]be my year [D] [A] [Em] [G]
This will be my [D]year [A] [Em] [G]
This will be my [D]year [A] [Em] [G]
This will be my [D]year [A] [Em] [G]
Outro: D A Em G until end.
