The Starting Line

Intro 2x: C  Em  G  C

C                    Em          
This town was a lovers stage  but
      G                 C
 now you can't recognize
C                            Em  
The streetlights that are daggers
             G
 to your eyes
Dm                         Am    
You can't find your bearings  
          F                C
you're slipping into the ground
F                   Am           G
The scene has no color and no sound

C                Em            G
You still believe in me after 
                  C
the things I've done
C                  Em           G
You fear for what we have become
Dm                Am          F 
The ground is uneven  we stumble
                C
 from day to day
F                         Am
But shelter where it's easy
             Em                    
I know your feet are like lead  but
        G
 you've gotta get on the way.

F             C                
Drag your heart up to the 
Em     Am
starting line
F             C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
 G
before your time
F           C            Em    Am
It's too easy to get left behind.

Dm
I know you've been kicked around
     F                          
But tie up your thoughts and lay 
                C Em G C
them down on me

C                 Em          G 
Each heart is a paper kite blown
                   C
 around by the breeze
C                        Em      
Love won't rest till it brings 
            G
you to your knees
Dm                 Am   F       
Some find it easy  some will 
             C
never even know
F                              Am
You think you've done your journey
            Em                
Then you stumble and find that 
          G
there's such a long way to go.

F             C                
Drag your heart up to the 
Em     Am
starting line
F             C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
 G
before your time
F           C            Em    Am
It's too easy to get left behind.
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
     F
You wanna be lost and not be found
   Bbsus2
But let's take the back way into 
town
     F                             
And drink to the bad times  lay 
             C Em G C
them down on me.

C                Em              
Girl  I still believe in you  
      G                 C
you're too good to fall so low
C                    Em          
We're gonna find a better life  I
    G
 know
Dm                   Am          
Things will be clearer  as soon 
F                 C
as we make a start
F                      Am
We'll be that much nearer
          Em                    
We're too old to just stand here 
 G
waiting to break apart

F             C                
Drag your heart up to the 
Em     Am
starting line
F             C                   
Forget the ghosts that make you old 
 G
before your time
F           C            Em    Am
It's too easy to get left behind.
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
     F                          
But tie up your thoughts and lay 
            C       Em        G  
them down on me       on me      
     C C Em G C
 on me
