      Dm                    F
I was old when I was younger
         Gm
All the lives I'm not living
Always trying to pull me under
                     Dm         F
Feel like I've been barely living
                     Gm
But I keep getting struck by the thunder
                Dm                    F
Maybe we don't need the bigger picture
             Gm
'Cause all I see is everything 
I've done called into question
Dm F                     Gm
Sorry, what was the question?
                        Dm                    F
And you don't know how much I missed the winter
                       Gm
It's been the longest summer,
came without the winner
                     Dm               F
And you can't even begin to understand
              Gm
The magic she had before you killed her

Chorus:
Dm               F                   Gm
I could call a truce for anyone but you
   Dm                    F                  Gm
And I could change the truth for anyone but you
                           Dm           F          Gm
I guess what I'm trying to say is you changed me, mmm
                           Dm              F         Gm
Oh, why can’t things just stay the same, stay the same?
                    A#
I'm thinking 'bout how many times I've had to recover
A7
All I do is start again
                      Dm
I'm thinking 'bout a new beginning
      C                 Bm7-5
It's never too late to start again, oh-oh

Start again, start again, start again
All I do is
Start again, start again, start again

I separate my colours like a prism
Try to be myself, but I'm stuck in your religion (Oh)
Love keeps blurring my vision (Ooh)
I can't beat the narcissism (Ooh)
Think I'm gonna reinvent myself again, wash off all the pain
'Cause it runs away, but I know it stains
(Know it stains)
You were always there, but you never stayed
(You never, never stayed)

Chorus:
I could call a truce for anyone but you
(Anyone but you)
And I could change the truth for anyone but you
(Anyone but you)
I guess what I'm trying to say is you changed me, mmm
Oh, why can’t things just stay the same, stay the same?
(Why can't they stay the same?)
I'm thinking 'bout how many times I've had to recover
All I do is start again
I'm thinking 'bout a new beginning
It's never too late to start again, oh-oh

Start again, start again, start again
All I do is
Start again, start again, start again

 Dm                Gm                                 G           Am
Every summer, my friends prevent me from using the grill (Grill, grill)
      Dm                       Gm                C
They believe Cancer men don't have the will to play with fire
 Dm        Gm
But I'm gonna prove them wrong I'm cutting my man off
 Am          Dm
Yes, I will burn this bridge
 Gm                        C     Dm
No, I do not want him (No-no, no-no, no, no)
  Gm
I'm gonna prove them wrong I'm cutting my man off
 Am          Dm
Yes, I will burn this bridge
 Gm7                    C
No, I do not want him (Eh-eh)
 Dm         Gm
I'm gonna prove them wrong I'm cutting my man off
 Am          Dm
Yes, I will burn this bridge
 Gm
No, I do not want him (I'm moving on from him)

Fighting against what I'm fighting for
Another walk to the liquor store
Trying to break me down a little more
(I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
Fighting against what I'm fighting for
Another walk to the liquor store
Trying to break me down a little more
(I'm moving on from him)
(You fuck with me, I'll start a war)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
(I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
(I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
(I'm moving on from him)
I'm moving on from him
(I'm moving on from him) I'm moving on from him
I'm moving on from him
