This is the starting of my greatest fear
G                        C
i'm all packed up, getting out of here
Am                        D
but then you call and tell me not to go
Am                        D
that i'm the one who put the rock n roll
G
in your life

G                        C      
this is the starting of a brand new day
G                        C
i never liked this town much anyway
Am                        D
i need this city like i need the rain
Am                        D
i know that somewhere there's a north bound train

G            Em
oh I'll make it without you
G            Em 
oh i'll make it without you 
                  Am
and though my bodies laying here
      D                        G
it's my mouth that must be lying now

G                        C
this is the starting of my fall from grace
G                        C
my self esteem , it's seen better days
Am                        D
but you know i'll never let this go to waste
Am                        D
i'll keep this memory on the map i trace
      C
back to home

G                              C
my friends go out, but i've been staying in
G                        C
i know i should but that's the way it's been
Am                        D
i never cared much for the taste of gin
Am                        D
i still don't now, oh, but it's been helpin

G            Em
oh I'll make it without you
G            Em 
oh i'll make it without you in my life
                  Am
and though my bodies laying here
      D                        G
it's my mouth that must be lying now
