Not Your Year
The Weepies, from the album "say i am you"
2006

INTRO
Bb Dm Gm Bb

Bb Dm
Scattered shadows on the wall,
you watch the long light fall.
Eb Bb
Some impressions stay and some will fade.

Bb Dm
Tattered shoes outside your door,
clothes all on the floor.
Eb Bb
Your life feels like the morning after all year long.

CHORUS

Gm Eb
Every day it starts again.
Gm F
You cannot say if you're happy.
Gm
You keep trying to be.
C Eb/
Try harder, maybe, maybe
F/ Bb/ F/ Eb
this is not your year.
Bb/ F/ Eb
this is not your year.


Bb Dm
Movies, TV screens reflect just what you expected.
Eb Bb
There's a world of shiny people somewhere else.
Bb Dm
Out there following their bliss,
Eb
living easy, getting kissed,
Bb
while you wonder what else you're doing wrong.

CHORUS

Gm
Breathe through it,
Eb
write a list of desires.
Gm Eb
Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires.
C
Paint a heart repeating, beating
Eb/ F/
"don't give up, don't give up."

BRIDGE
Bb Eb F Eb

Bb Dm
Scattered shadows on the wall,
you watch the long light fall.

Some impressions stay and some will fade away.

Every day it starts again.

Someday you'll say that you're happy.
Gm
So keep trying to be.
C Eb/
Try harder, maybe, maybe,

This is written in the key of the recording; to play a
