Guitar chords Begin Again

Begin Again is about starting over after a bad relationship.

Introduction:
G
  
G
 
Took a deep breath in the mirror
G
                                         
C
 
He didn’t like it when I wore high heels, but I do
G/B
 
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
G
                                      
C
 
He always said he didn’t get this song but I do, I do

G
 
Walked in expecting you’d be late
G
 
But you got here early
G
 
And you stand and wait
  
C
 
I walk to you
G/B
 
You pulled my chair out and helped me in
G/B
 
And you don’t know how nice that is
     
C
 
But I do

C
                                            
D
 
And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
Em7
                                                  
G
 
I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ‘cause he never did

I’ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does

Is break and burn and end
C
                          
D
                        
G
 
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

G
 
You said you never met one girl who
G
 
Has as many James Taylor records as you
C
 
But I do
G/B
 
We tell stories and you don’t know why I’m coming off a little shy
C
 
But I do

C
                                            
D
 
But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
Em7

But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

G
     
C
  
D
 

C
 
And we walk down the block to my car
D/F#
 
And I almost brought him up
C
 
But you start to talk about
D
 
The movies that your family watches
C
 
Every single Christmas
D
 
And I won’t talk about that
C
 
For the first time, what’s past is past

C
 

C

‘Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
