It Starts Where It Ends

Perpetual Groove


Tom: D

D       A            D                  A
    The start of the story
D          A                  D         A
    Is not where this tale begins
D                 A             D       A
    This point in life is not a segue
       D                    A                          D      A
But in fact this is the act where the plot thickens

[Chorus]
      D
Never better was my answer
           A                G       G
When you'd asked me how i'd been
         D
And good luck I haven't seen her
      A                G          G
Since I can't remember when
     D                          A              G         G
So I try just to take it and to face it with a grin
      D                          A                 G        ...
And I try to remember thats it's all in the master plan

[Verse 2]
D            A                D        A
    I got my towel packed and ready
D           A               D          A
    I'm all set to hitch a ride
D           A             D            A
    I don't know my destination
D           A                 D    A
    But i'm sure its on the far side

[Chorus] x2
      D
Never better was my answer
           A                G       G
When you'd asked me how i'd been
         D
And good luck I haven't seen her
      A                G          G
Since I can't remember when
     D                          A              G         G
So I try just to take it and to face it with a grin
      D                          A                 G        G
And I try to remember thats it's all in the master plan

    D
You live
    A
You love
    G     G
You die
     D         A     G      G
Each time you slide away
          D        A           G      G
Still you try, and try but you know
               D         A             G      G
Some things in life will never go your way
