Intro: C-Ab-F-Bb
C G D A
Normally I'd be French-twisting my hair,
C G D A
And selecting the right earrings to wear,
F G C G D A
Oh it's a special evening for most, and normally I'd be proposing a toast,
F C G Bb F
But not this year because I'm here, the party's all around me,
C G Bb F
You're there, indifference has found me,
C G Am D
And I know it's not in fashion wearing heartache on your sleeve,
C Ab F Bb C
But I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.
C G D A
Normally I'd be knee-deep in Champagne,
C G D A
I'd kick my heels up 'til neighbors complain,
F G C G D A
Oh it's a glamorous evening for most, and normally I'd be upstaging the host,
F C G Bb F
But not this year because I'm here, the party's all around me,
C G Bb F
You're there, indifference has found me,
C G Am D
And I know I should have dressed up but I just can't make believe,
C Ab F Bb C
Now I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.
Bb F C
If you're flirting with some other girl tonight,
Bb F C
I'm not flirting with some other guy,
Bb F C Bb Am
I'm just thinking how last year at midnight you blew me away,
D Bb
With the resolution that you made.
Guitar Solo: C-G-D-A (x2) F
C G Bb F
I'm here, the party's all around me,
C G Bb F
You're there, indifference has found me,
C G Am D
And tonight before the ball drops I'll grab my coat and leave,
C Ab F Bb Am D
I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve,
C Ab F Bb C Ab-F-Bb-C
I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.
