Intro (notes played first =   )
GD/GF/GC/GGDGFGCG
     / / /
        G                D/G
Well so here I am at the end of the road
F/G                    C       Am7Am7/DG
                       (add2)      
Where do I go from here?
                          D/G
I always figured it would be like this
      F/G                       C
Still nothing seems to be quite clear
        Am7             D              Am7                D
All the words have been spoken and the prophecy fulfilled
      Bm7                           E9
But I just can't decide where to go
          Am7          Bm7       Am7          Bm7
Yes, it's been quite a day and I should go to sleep
      Am7           C                Dsus   D
But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know
          Cmaj7
That I've got to begin again
         D/G
Though I don't know how start
          Cmaj7              C/D
Yes, I've got to begin again
         G    D/GF/GC/GG DG FG CG
                      /  /  /
And it's hard
          G                          D/G
Well it's been quite a while since I lifted my head
        F/G                              C  Am7  Am7/D  G
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes
                          D/G
I see the way that I been spendin' my days
      F/G                       C
And reality has caught me by surprise
      Am7         D             Am7             D
I was dreamin' of tomorrow so I sacrificed today
       Bm7                            E9
And it sure was a grand waste of time
      Am7           Bm7               Am7          Bm7
And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face
       Am7           C         Dsus  D
I just can't get you out of my mind
         Cmaj7
But I've got to begin again
         D/G
Though I don't know how start
          Cmaj7              C/D
Yes, I've got to begin again
         G     D/G  F/G  C/G
And it's hard
    G        D/GF/G   C/GG  DG FG CG G
                          /  /  /  
Yes it's hard           oh, ooh  ooh
