A new chapter, a new     page
      C#m
A new promise meant when made
             B
When I moved out
             A
And settled down
          E
In my new place
 
    E      Asus2 E
I believed
        C#m
I could almost see
              B
The faces all changed
                    A
But mine stayed the same
                E
It's never that easy
 
   E
Surrounded, alone
         C#m
By these walls as bare as bone
                B
But where can I start
                 A
I don't have the heart
             E
To make it a home
 
      E
And I know
                 C#m
That we all need something
                B
To help us push through
                   A
The doubt and lassitude
               E
And find the will within
 
         E
But it's so damn hard
       C#m
When inertia affirms who we are
                  B
the weight of the past
                 A
and well-trodden paths
                 E
always leading back to the start
 
        E
Nothing changes, they say
           C#m
If nothing changes today
                     B
But that's not quite true
                 A
We just finished June
                     E
And we're onto the next page

It's different now
                  C#m
Just watching the summer slip away
               B
The first of July
            A
And already I
               E
Can feel winter's gaze
 
        E
It's an old years day
         C#m
And I am feeling old for my age
               B
A quarter of a century
               A
I'm stuck in eventually
               E
I'm tired of waiting
 
        E
But I believe
                 C#m
Before I see the leaves falling from the trees
                  B
As green turns to go
           A
Oh I will follow
                E
I'll set myself free
           C#m
I'll set myself free
   B
Oh I...
A        E
Oooh
