        Am
Maybe I left you
F                        C
But you were with your friends
G   Am                     F
I tried to make a good impression
               C   G
But I failed again

        C                      Am
It was New Years Eve, there's too much noise
C                      Am
I could barely hear my own voice
C                            Am
I always said you were too shy
C                        Am
But then I went off to cry
    C
I stopped so many times
       Am
Blank faces passing me by
C                          Am
I wish I never worn that white dress
         C
And you found me outside
         Am
Looking like somebody died
C                           G
Thought my heart was coming out my chest

Chorus:
C                  Am
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
       G           C/E     F
Do you even wanna be with me?
C                 Am
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
       G          C/E      F
Do you even wanna be with me?

I vaguely remember laughing with your best friend
And you used to tell me that she didn't like me
Did you lie or did she pretend?

Chorus:
I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?

Am              F  C  G
I think you're so kind
    Am     F                  C           G
And all I give you is such a terrible time
       Am               F
And I fucked it, never forget
     C                 G
The way you looked at me
       Am               F
And I fucked it, never forget
C                             G
You're the best thing that's happened to me
(me, me, me)

Chorus:
I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
Oh, I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
You're the best thing that's happened to me
I don't wanna be alone on New Year's Eve
You're the best thing that's happened to me
