Starting Square

G

[Verse]
                 Em                      C       G
'Hello' and from there where else can we go, 'Hello'
              Em                  C           G
A song, I’m expected now to play along with a song
    Bm            C                          Bm
You crook, just a boy sitting there with his book
      C                     G
And a smile that the camera took
        Em           C                  G
Leaving you just the same as you always look

[Verse]
                  Em                    C             G
As for me, I’m as changed as a girl can be, can’t you see
                       Em                     C          G
That I’ve flown to the edges of the earth and home, I’ve flown
          Bm           C                         Bm
From your chair, I can tell you can tell it from there
       C                    G
That I may have been everywhere
        Em                C        G
But I’m back, back to the starting square

[Verse]
                     Em                         C             G
In my nights, I have bargained with the eastern lights, in my nights
                  Em                        C         G
We’ve met and the trouble was no trouble at all to forget
             Bm                C                Bm
Dreaming, we spoke, chalked it up to a terrible joke
            C                       G
And then we each took a hold of the rope
         Em            C                  G
With one match and the problem went up in smoke

[Verse]
                          Em                C               G
It’s just there, it’s not right or wrong or fair, it’s just there
                      Em                    C            G
A big heart, a rotten ending and a fumbling start, a big heart
             Bm             C                          Bm
And isn’t it so that when I see you at the end of this show
           C                        G
That we’ll start with the places we know
         Em            C                   G
And walk long down the road that we always go
