Where To Start

[Intro ]
D G D 

 
D                          G             Em      D 
They say the worst of your feelings will all come in waves 
         D                                       G      D 
And with no way to speed up the time you're left drowning for days 
     G                   A 
Oh I know that's how the saying goes 
           G                D        Em                       D G D 
But at the very least could somebody lend me a little lifeboat 
 

 
D                        G                Gm         D 
I asked the question you replied with the answer I'd feared 
D                                        G     D 
And in one second flat well my certitude all disappeared 
        G                     A 
Oh in a daze I stumbled round black and blue 
      G             D             Em                       D 
And I stayed in the fog cause the smell of it reminds me of you 
 

 
           G   A       D 
And I have tried to be strong for my mother 
      Bm          A           G 
who's worried I'm looking too thin 
       A           D                   Bm       A             G 
I've tried to stop feeling like I am a stranger inside my own skin 
               A                 Bm 
I've tried to imagine what might happen the next time 
  A                     Em 
I agree to let somebody in 
                         D     G D 
I wouldn't know where to begin 
 

 
D                      G                       D 
Sometimes I worry I'll stay feeling this way for years 
           D                     Em                             D 
And when I go to that place well exhaustion's the least of my fears 
           G             A 
Oh I can't bear to take another loss 
        G           D          Em       G         D 
So I'll burn all my bridges before even needing to cross 
 

 
           G  A        D                             Bm           A         G 
And I have tried to believe all my friends when they tell me it's not gonna last 
        A         D                  Bm          A          G 
I've tried not to ruin my future by dwelling too much on my past 
               A            Bm                 A 
I've tried to imagine being able to truthfully say 
                     Em 
I'm alright when I'm lost 
                         D 
I wouldn't know where to start 
 

 
Em         Bm    A     Em 
So I'll keep our photographs 
      Bm       A             Em 
Every moment I captured your love 
                    Bm             A            G 
And I'll store them somewhere they can't hurt my heart 
            Em 
Oh I'm not ready yet 
        A                      D 
But I'm looking for a where to start

To believe all my friends and be strong for my mother 
   G 
To know there's a world out there 
Bm    A           Em 
I can discover at last 
A                                    D    Em D 
  Where to start will be soon in the past
