D            A
Cast out to sea
                  Bm
Drifting with the tide
               G
And no way of finding me
D             A
Now that I'm free
                  Bm
Nothing but blue skies
              G
Paradise in front of me

A/C#    D         G
Awake from this dream
A/C# D        G
I   hold my breath and just believe

Chorus:
 D
Tired of all the troubles
They been wasting my time
A/C#
I don't wanna fight
Gonna leave it behind
Bm
Taking on faith
Now I'm ready to fly
            G
I'm in the middle of starting over
 D
Back to the beginning
Gonna hit rewind
A/C#
Chance to do it over
To get it right this time
Bm
Life gives you pennies
Turn them into dimes
            G
I'm in the middle of starting over
I'm in the middle of starting over

Alone in a room
Tearing down the walls
Painting over scars and bruises
Now this is home
Fill it up with love
And make the best of something new, yeah

As hard as it seems
I hold my breath and just believe

Chorus:
Tired of all the troubles,
they've been wasting my time
I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly
I'm in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I'm in the middle of starting over

      Em            D/F#
The colors in the stars
  G             A
Seem a little brighter
   Em          D/F#  G A
Tomorrow isn't far away
   Em               D/F#
Through the hardest part
     G                 A    G
I'm working towards a happy ending

Chorus:
Tired of all the troubles,
they've been wasting my time
I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly
I'm in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I'm in the middle of starting over
Tired of all the troubles,
they've been wasting my time
I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly
I'm in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I'm in the middle of starting over
I'm in the middle of starting over
