C#m         B            A
I'm like a watch, I'm unwinding like a clock
      C#m              B             A
It's okay if I don't know what the time is
C#m         B                  A
I just woke up from drinkin', had half a cup
    F#m                     G#7
The universe is trying to remind me

Give me a pen, I'm rewriting another ending
It didn't turn out the way that I wanted
I had the armor, I wore it much in the summer
But the arrow hit me right where the heart is

Chorus:
  F#m             G#7

A        Emaj7
Starting over (Ooh)
A        Emaj7
Starting over (Ooh)
A
New beginnings can be lonely
Emaj7
Thank God I got me to hold me
A        Emaj7 G#7
Starting over, over

He was the cure, I was ready to be sure
So I let him deeper under the surface
(Deeper under the surface)
But it didn't take long to realize
That the woman in me does not cry
For a man who is a boy and he does not deserve this

I guess I'm mastering the art of

Chorus:
Starting over (Over, oh-oh)
Starting over (Starting over, over)
New beginnings can be lonely
Thank God I got me to hold me
Starting over, over

A
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
Emaj7
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
A
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
Emaj7               G#7
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
A
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
Emaj7
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
A
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
Emaj7              G#7
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
