F#
I've been waiting for the sun
                          D#m
to come up and to let you know
There's a reason that I up
and left about a week ago
F#
If complaining is your only
               D#m
move Then it’s all about my
whereabouts and what I plan to do

D#m C#           F#
      I'll never find your heart
D#m C# G#
       in a place like this
D#m C#           F#
      I'll never find your trust
        D#m     C# G#
when it doesn't exist

Chorus:
  A#m         G#
I wanna start over
      D#m C#   F#
where do  we begin?
   A#m           G#
I thought I was stronger
        D#m
than to let you in
    A#m     G#
I'm finally learning how
    D#m    C#  F#
the tables are turning
A#m   G#               D#m
   So let's start this over
but where do we begin?

Sometimes you can read my mind
It's like we're always breaking ground
at the same time
And I noticed you don't show it
With Boston still on your skin
The answer isn't where you are,
it's where you've been
And you know it, so control it, cause I figured out

I'll never find your heart in a place like this
This town isn't yours to miss

Chorus

      F#
Am I strong enough now to
        G#
keep my feet on the ground?
      A#m
Can I tell you how I'm
                 G#
feeling with out making a sound?
       F#
Am I strong enough now to keep
   G#
my feet on the ground?
   A#m              D#m
So long here's your song

Chorus

But where do we begin?
