Intro (notes played first = D G A)
G D/G F/G C/G G D/G F/G C/G

        G                D/G 
Well so here I am at the end of the road
F/G                       C(add2)  Am7  Am7/D  G
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/G  F/G  C/G  G  D/G  F/G  C/G
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/G  F/G      C/G  G   D/G  F/G  C/G  G
Yes it's hard           oh, ooh  ooh
