Chorus: Fmaj D/F# Honey, all the movements you're starting to make Fmaj See me crumble and fall on my face D/F# And I know the mistakes that I made Bb Fmaj See it all disappear without a trace D/F# And they call as they beckon you on Bb Am C/G Em Riff1 They said start as you mean to go on Am C/G Em Riff1 Am C/G Em Start as you mean to go on | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
