The Perfect Year

Ring out the old, ring in the (D7)new,

a midnight (G)wish to share with (C)you.

Your lips are (Am)warm, my head is light,

were we (D7)alive before (G)tonight?

(Dm)I don't need a (G7)crowded (C)ballroom,

(Cm)everything I want is (Em)here, if you're with (G)me,

next year will (D7)be the perfect (G)year.

Before we play some dangerous (D7)game,

before we (G)fan some harmless (C)flame,

we have to (Am)ask if this is (Am7)wise,

and if the (D7)game is worth the (G)prize.

(Dm)With this wine, and (G7)with this (C)music,

(Cm)how can anything be (Em)clear?

Let's wait and (G)see, it may just (D7)be the perfect (G)year.

(C7)It's New Year's (F)Eve, and hopes are (C7)high,

dance one year (F)in, kiss one (Bb)goodbye,

another (Gm)chance, another (Gm7)start, so many (C7)dreams to tease the (F)heart.

(F7)We don't need a crowded (Bb)ballroom,

(Bbm)everything we want is (Dm)here, and face to (F)face we will (C7)embrace the perfect (F)year.

(F7)We don't need a crowded (Bb)ballroom,

(Bbm)everything we want is (Dm)here, and face to (F)face we will (C7)embrace the perfect (F)year.
