        G                D/G 
Well so here I am at the end of the road 
F/G                 C    Am7   Am7/D 
Where do I go from here? 
G                          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 
Yes, I've got to begin again 
C/D       G   D/G   F/G   C/G 
 And it's hard 

G   D/G   F/G   C/G 

          G                          D/G 
Well it's been quite a while since I lifted my head 
        F/G                         C    Am7   Am7/D 
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes 
G                          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 
That I've got to begin again 
         D/G 
Though I don't know how start 
          Cmaj7 
Yes, I've got to begin again 
C/D       G   D/G   F/G   C/G 
 And it's hard 

G   D/G   F/G   C/G 
G   D/G   F/G   C/G
