(x4)


[Intro]
C
Begin again, begin again
Bb               F
Wake up the lazy boyfriends
C
Begin again, begin again
Bb                  F
We can start at the end


[Verse 1]
          F             C        Bb             F
Push your hands in your pockets, spaced out and sleepless
        F              C        Bb       F
Put yourself on the docket, get ready to go
      F             C             Bb          F
Got a brand new day planner still snug in the wrapper
        F            C       Bb           F
And the weekly to-do list as white as the snow
   F     C        Bb    F
So who's good for nothing?
F            C                Bb       F
After you've run through your personal time
    F     C        Bb     F
You still got some Wite-Out
 F         C            Bb       F
Enough to erase all the previous lines


[Chorus 1]
C               F    C                     F
Did you say out loud that you think you've lost your edge?
C              F
Man, you never lost your edge
Bb
All the lazy boyfriends are preparing to change
Bb
They're standing in the kitchen and preparing to change
Bb                                       F
All the lazy boyfriends are preparing to change

[Verse 2]
      F        C       Bb            F
This American splendor spreads out before you
     F            C         Bb       F
From basements to attics, garages to sheds
    F         C           Bb        F
Who needs a vacation? Who needs a direction?
    F         C               Bb           F
Who needs motivation when you live in your head?
   F     C        Bb    F
So who's good for nothing?
F          C               Bb         F
So hard to finish, there's nothing to force
       F     C        Bb     F
You've still got some Wite-Out
    F          C            Bb        F
And all of the girlfriends' buyer's remorse


[Chorus 2]
C               F    C                     F
Did you say out loud that you think you've lost your edge?
C              F
Man, you never lost your edge
Bb
All the lazy boyfriends are preparing to change
Bb
They're staring at the ceiling and preparing to change
Bb
All the lazy boyfriends are preparing



[Outro]
C
Begin again, begin again
Bb               F
Wake up the lazy boyfriends
C
Begin again, begin again
Bb                  C     F
We can start at the end
