   Dm                       Am
It hit me last night like a ton of bricks
           A#                              Dm
If this is really it, this is starting over
                             Am
There's no should've, could've, would've said this
      A#                                     Dm
Done that, no turning back, no more I wonders
                  Am
But no harm done, no hard feelings and
A#
Maybe some other time and it gives me some
             Dm
peace of mind
                            Am
If that was the end of the ride,
                      A#
I'm getting back in line
                      F
'Cause I'm telling you

Chorus:
                                 A#
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
 Dm                    C                    F
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
                                      A#
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing
Dm                           C
You can let go and take the weight off
           A#
your shoulders
                              F Am A#
There's nothing like starting over
                              F Am A#
there's nothing like starting over

Love's got a way of letting you know
When the time to hold on or time to let go,
tells you so
It's the cold in the kiss of looking away
Then say what you mean
Well, do you mean what you say?
I don't really know
It's time to reset, rethink, reposition
There's nothing wrong with me, it's just a condition
It's the science of love, fly when we fall,
through it all
We turn with the tide,
'cause we're free on the other side

Chorus:
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing you
Can let go and take the weight off your shoulders
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like starting over, starting over
Yeah

Gm
If one is a lonely number
                           A#
It kind of makes you wonder
                                       G
How starting back at zero can feel so nice
            A#
But it feels just right

Chorus:
'Cause there just ain't nothing like
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing you
Can let go and take the weight off your shoulders
Nothing like starting over
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Over)

No, there's nothing like
No, there's nothing like starting over
No, no, no, no, no
Starting over
