A           Bm 
No more champagne 
        A/C#             C#m 
And the fireworks are through 
        D           A/C# 
Here we are, me and you 
        Bm7                Esus4 
Feeling lost and feeling blue 
         A          Bm7-5 
It's the end of the party 
        A/C#             C#m 
And the morning seems so grey 
     D          A/C# 
So unlike yesterday 
          Bm7           
Now's the time for us to
   Esus4   E 
 say...
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbor is a

 friend

 to try 
May we all have our hopes, our will to try 
      F#7/A#                         
If we don't we might as well lay down
       Bm7  E 
 and die 
If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I
[Estrofa]
A           Bm 
Sometimes I see 
        A/C#             C#m 
How the brave new world arrives 
      D           A/C# 
And I see how it thrives 
    Bm7             Esus4 
In the ashes of our lives 
    A          Bm7-5 
Oh yes, man is a fool 
      A/C#             C#m 
And he thinks he'll be okay 
        D          A/C# 
Dragging on, feet of clay 
      Bm7              A 
Never knowing he's a stray 
         Bm11              E11   E 
Keeps on going anyway...

A           Bm 
Seems to me now 
       A/C#             C#m 
That the dreams we had before 
       D           A/C# 
Are all dead, nothing more 
      Bm7             Esus 
Than confetti on the floor 
         A        Bm7-5 
It's the end of a decade 
     A/C#            C#m 
In another ten years time 
        D              A/C# 
Who can say what we'll find? 
         Bm7              A 
What lies waiting down the line 
       Bm11          E11   E 
In the end of eighty-nine...
