     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                Em
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
But when you wake up and look around
   C                        Em
at everything that's going down
All wrong
            Am
You see we need to change it now,
                 C                  Em
this world with too few happy endings
                   Am
We can resolve to start all over,
 C                 Em
make a new beginning

Chorus:
Am            C
Start all over
Em
Start all over
Am            C
Start all over
Em
Start all over

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

Chorus

                     Em                     Am
We can break the cycle We can break the chain
                     Em
We can start all over In the new beginning
Am                    C
We can learn, we can teach
            Em
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
    Am           C
The notion that we can do better
  Em
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and

Chorus:
And Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over

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

Chorus:
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over

Am
We need to make new symbols
Em
Make new signs
Am
Make a new language
      Em
With these we'll define the world

Chorus:
And start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over

Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
