(Nina Gordon)
From the album 'Tonight and The Rest of My Life' by Nina Gordon
Transcription by Phil Gardner

Intro: C-Ab-F-Bb

C            G         D           A
Normally I'd be French-twisting my hair,
C            G          D           A
And selecting the right earrings to wear,
        F        G                     C        G         D        A
Oh it's a special evening for most, and normally I'd be proposing a toast,
            F           C    G         Bb           F
But not this year because I'm here, the party's all around me,
C      G        Bb             F
You're there, indifference has found me,
     C                G               Am                D
And I know it's not in fashion wearing heartache on your sleeve,
  C                    Ab           F            Bb                 C
But I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.

C            G       D          A
Normally I'd be knee-deep in Champagne,
C                    G    D            A
I'd kick my heels up 'til neighbors complain,
        F          G                     C        G        D           A
Oh it's a glamorous evening for most, and normally I'd be upstaging the host,
            F           C    G         Bb           F
But not this year because I'm here, the party's all around me,
C      G        Bb             F
You're there, indifference has found me,
     C                  G                Am                D
And I know I should have dressed up but I just can't make believe,
  C                    Ab           F            Bb                 C
Now I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.

Bb                      F          C
If you're flirting with some other girl tonight,
Bb                    F          C
I'm not flirting with some other guy,
Bb                    F            C            Bb   Am
I'm just thinking how last year at midnight you blew me away,
            D               Bb
With the resolution that you made.

Guitar Solo: C-G-D-A (x2) F

C   G         Bb           F
I'm here, the party's all around me,
C      G        Bb             F
You're there, indifference has found me,
     C                G               Am               D
And tonight before the ball drops I'll grab my coat and leave,
C                   Ab           F            Bb                Am   D
I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve,
C                   Ab           F            Bb                 C   Ab-F-Bb-C
I'm here and you're there so who cares what I wear on New Year's Eve.
