Where I Began

G                             
The grass looked greener on the 
    D     C  D       C
other side so I tried to
G                    D   C    D   C
Snatch myself from your hand
G                           
Caught a boat to anywhere but 
   D   C        D         C
Nineveh and, well, you know, I
G                 D   C   D   C
Got spit back on dry land.

Give me purity and give me 
continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner 
trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept.

D                            C   
Kicking against these goads sure 
                G
did cut up my feet
D                                 
And didn't your hands get bloody 
        C
as you washed them clean.

G      D          C
Here I am again, back where I began
G   D                 C
Try as I may I can't get away from 
you
G       D                    C
And all of these roads that lead me 
to roam, bring me back home.
G      D         C             
Here I am again, back where I 
G      D     C
began.

So you have yourself your ninety 
nine
Isn't that enough for you
Still you followed me to the 
shadowed valley
Carried me on your shoulders too.

I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this 
hill
But the one thing I can't get over 
now...(is the)
Is the force of your will.
