Where do you (G69)start?

How do you (D7sus4)sep a rate the pres ent from the (G69)past?

How do you (F)deal with all the (G)things you thought would (Cmaj13)last,

that did n’t (Cm7)last?

With (Cm7)bits of (Bm7)mem ’ries scat tered (E)here and there, I (A9)look a round and (D)don’t know where to (G69)start.

Which books are (Gmaj9)yours?

Which tapes and (Am7)dreams be long to (Am7)you and which are (Gmaj9)mine?

Our lives are (Dm7)tan gled like the (G)branch es of a (Cmaj9)vine

that in ter (Cm9)twine.

So man y (Bm7)hab its that we’ll (E)have to break and (A9)yes ter days we’ll (D)have to take a (G69)part.

One day there’ll (Cm7)be a song or (F)some thing in the (Bbmaj9)air a gain

to (Em11)catch me by sur prise, and you’ll be (D9sus4)there a gain;

a (Am7)mo ment in

what (Am9)might have been.

Where do you (G69)start?

Do you al (Am7)low your self a lit tle time to (Gmaj7)cry?

Or do you (Dm7)close your eyes and kiss it all good (Cmaj7)bye?

I guess you (Cm7)try.

And though I (Bm7)don’t know where and (Em7)don’t know when, I’ll (Am9)find my self in (D13)love a gain.

I (Bm7)prom ise there will (E13)al ways be a lit tle place no (E13)one will (E)see, a (G)ti ny part deep (A13)in my (A)heart that (Cmaj7)stays in love (D)with you.
