Always Starting Over(Chords)

	        

       G               
In my life I never thought I'd get a second chance 
                G/F# 
I thought I was done ? then I met you 
             G/F 
And though I never dreamed I could learn how to love again 
            C/E 
I placed my bet 
               Cm 
And you came through 
    Gsus4        G 
I somehow still lost 
                 A - F#m/A 
I somehow always do 
                 C 
This time feels new 


C               Csus2 
Thank you for finding me 
C                   Csus4 
And thank you for the care 
C                Csus2      C             Csus4          Bb/G - Dm/G   Bb/G  Dm/G 
And fuck you for making me think that this life might be fair 
C              Csus2 
You promised to love me, 
C            Csus4 
a promise you kept 
C              Csus2       C          Csus4      Gm 
And I won't be sorry that you said to leap and I lept 
Bb 
I won't regret what I did then 
Gm7 
Though it hurts more than I could imagine back when 
         Eb       Ebsus2 
All the same, even so 
         Eb         Ebsus2  G 
I would love you all over again 

Am 
Am I always 
Em 
Starting over? 
F              C - G 
In a brand new story 
Am 
Am I always 
Em 
Back at one 
F              Gsus4 - G 
After all I've done? 
             C                Csus/D 
'Cause I've burned all of my bridges 
      C/E               F - C  Bb/G 
And learned every last lesson too 
F                  Csus2 
So how can I start new? 

D               Dsus2 
I'll love our children, 
D                Dsus4 
both fiercely and well 
D              Dsus2 
When they ask about you, 
D             Dsus4        C/A - Em/A     C/A   Em/A 
oh lordy, the stories I'll tell 
D             Dsus2          D        Dsus4 
And I won't regret the lives I didn't lead 
D              Dsus2 
I knew you, I loved you, 
D              Dsus4       Am 
and let that be all that I need 
C 
Say that it's fate 
Say it's foretold 
Am7 
I'm through with fighting it 
I'm much too old 
          F           Fsus2 
What the gods have to give 
      F             Fsus2         A 
I'll take, and I'll live, and be bold 

Bm 
If we're always 
F#m 
Starting over 
G               D - A 
Every brand-new morning 
Bm 
Then we're always 
F#m 
Starting out 
G               Asus4 - A 
With the end in doubt 
         D             Dsus/E 
We can leave life for tomorrow 
    D/F#                 G     D   Am 
Or grieve all that we thought we'd do 
    C               Csus2 
Or make each moment new 


               C6/G      Cmaj7/G   Csus2 
All that has happened is happening now 
                C6/G     G/F       Ebsus2 
All that might happen is here, somehow 
            Bb          F/A     G 
All of the choices that made me me 
           Cm       Dm/C    G 
All of the accidents yet to be 
Csus2 
All that's ahead 
And all that's behind 
Cm 
It's all in the moment 
I make up my mind 
Eb 
And open my heart 
And start 
      G 
And start 


                   Cm 
'Cause we're always 
Gm 
Starting over 
Ab               Eb  Eb/D 
Every life we're living 
Cm 
And we're always 
Gm 
Just awake 
Ab             Bb 
Every step we take 
        Eb                Eb/F 
And my love, our life is over 
    Eb/G                Ab   Eb   Bbm 
But love, I'll make you one last vow 
          Db 
To start over 
    Eb/Db 
And over 
     Db           Eb/Db           
And over somehow 

                         Cm7   Bb/D   Cm7   Bb   Eb   
My new life starts right...    now
