"This Could Be My Year" (words and music my Jacob Slichter)
Semisonic
from the album "Feeling Strangely Fine" (MCAD/11733)
Intro: * * (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:
Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time
New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Pre-chorus:
Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share
Chorus:
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
This will be my year
Verse:
Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
Trash or the overnight smash that brings your
Ship crashing through the wall
So you can make your grand departure
>From a world getting way too small
Pre-chorus:
One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not
Getting anywhere
Chorus:
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
This will be my year
This will be my year
This will be my year
Outro: until end.
