         G                D 
Well so here I am at the end of the road
 F                  C  Am7  Am7  G
Where do I go from here?
                           D 
I always figured it would be like this
       F                          C
Still nothing seems to be quite clear
         Am7              D             Am7
All the words have been spoken and the prophecy
       D
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                Dsus4 D
But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know

Chorus:
          Cmaj7
That I've got to begin again
          D 
Though I don't know how start
          Cmaj7              C 
Yes, I've got to begin again
          G   D   F   C  G  D   F   C 
And it's hard

Well, it's been quite a while since I lifted my head
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes
I see the way that I've been spendin' my days
And reality has caught my by surprise
I was dreamin' of tomorrow
So I sacrificed today
And it sure was a grand waste of time
And despite all the truth that's been
thrown in my face
I just can't get you out of my mind

Chorus:
But I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard
Yes, it's hard
