This only happens in the intro, though. Verse:

^DThursday's crush is a ^AFriday night rush And a ^EmMonday morning ^Gcry It's the ^Atail that you keep cha^Gsing And it ^Agets away every ^Gtime ^DNew Year's Eve and it's ^Ahard to believe Another ^EmZodiac's gone ar^Gound While you ^Adrank yourself high on ho^Gping And watched the ^Aceiling spin from the g^Ground

Pre-chorus:

^F#Counting down from ten it's time To make^Bm your annual prayer ^F#Secret Santa in the sky When ^Bmwill I get my shar^Ee

Chorus:

Then you ^Emtell yourself ^D What you ^Awant to hear ^E Cause you ^Emhave to believe ^G This will ^Abe my year ^D ^A ^Em ^G This will be my ^Dyear ^A ^Em ^G

Verse:

^DPound your fist and cross it ^Aoff your list But you ^Emknow you're not that str^Gong When the ^Aman at the stop light ^Gcatches you Singing al^Aong to a brand new song^G

Well maybe it's

^DTrash or the overnight ^Asmash that brings your ^EmShip crashing through the wall^G So you can ^Amake your grand departure^G >Fro^Am a world getting way to^Go small

Pre-chorus:

^F#One wheel in the ditch another ^BmSpinning in the air ^F#Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not ^BmGetting anywhere ^E

Chorus:

Then you ^Emtell yourself ^D What you ^Awant to hear ^E Cause you ^Emhave to believe ^G This will ^Abe my year ^D ^A ^Em ^G This will be my ^Dyear ^A ^Em ^G This will be my ^Dyear ^A ^Em ^G This will be my ^Dyear ^A ^Em ^G

Outro: D A Em G until end.
