Tom: Am

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

Am             C
Start all over
Em
Start all over 
Am             C
Start all over
Em
Start all over


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


( Em )

Am             C
Start all over
Em
Start all over 
Am             C
Start all over
Em
Start all over
                        Em                          Am(9)
We can break the cycle   -   We can break the chain
                       Em 
We can start all over  -  In the new beginning
Am79                     C9#11
We can learn, we can teach
            Em
We can share the myths the dream the prayer

Change our lives and paths

Create a new world and
 

( Em )

Am             C
Start all over

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

( Em )

Start all over
Em
Start all over
 
 
Am(9)
We need to make new symbols
Em
Make new signs
Am(9)
Make a new language
      Em
With these we'll define the world
     Am            C
And start all over
Em
Start all over 
Am             C
Start all over 
Em
Start all over ...
