Tom: A5

    A5                          C5                   E5
The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
              A5              C5                     E5
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
         A5             C5                 E5
There's too much pain, too much suffering
                  A5             C5
Let's resolve to start all over make a new beginning
     A5                  C5                      E5
Now don't get me wrong - I love life and living
              A5                           C5                         E5
But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down
( E5 )
All wrong
            A5                                     C5                     E5
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
                   A5             C5                      E5
We can resolve to start all over, make a new beginning
( E5 )

A5             C5
Start all over
E5
Start all over 
A5             C5
Start all over
E5
Start all over


   A5                    C5                     E5
The world is broken into fragments and pieces
     A5                              C5            E5
That once were joined together in a unified whole
             A5                         C5                    E5 
But now too many stand alone - There's too much separation
                   A5           C5                     E5
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning


( E5 )

A5             C5
Start all over

Start all over 
A5             C5
Start all over
E5
Start all over
                        E5                          A5
We can break the cycle   -   We can break the chain
                       E5 
We can start all over  -  In the new beginning
A5                     C5
We can learn, we can teach
            E5
We can share the myths the dream the prayer

Change our lives and paths

Create a new world and

    A5                          C5                 E5
The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
              A5              C5                   E5
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
         A5                     C5                   E5
There's too much fighting, too little understanding
                       A5
It's time to stop and start all over
C5                    E5
Make a new beginning

Start all over
E5
Start all over
 
 
A5
We need to make new symbols
E5
Make new signs
A5
Make a new language
      E5
With these we'll define the world
     A5            C5
And start all over
E5
Start all over 
A5             C5
Start all over 
E5
Start all over ...
