(verse 1)
Am          C
You say you feel so down
Dm         F       Em
every time I turn around
    Am          C
and you say you should've
             Dm F Em
been gone by now
    Am
and you, you think that
C
everything's wrong
    Dm     F            Em
you ask me how to carry on
      Am               C
we'll make it through another
         Dm     F Em
day just hold on

(chorus 1)
      Am    Em    F
Cause life starts now
       Am           C
You've done all the things
           Dm           F
that could kill you somehow
           Am G   F
and you're so far down
    Am          Bb          F
but you will survive it somehow
                    Am
because life starts now

(verse 2)
Am        C
I hate to see you fall down
Dm            F
I'll pick you up
           Em
off of the ground
Am               C
I've watched the weight of
                Dm  F Em
your world come down
    Am
And now Its your
C
chance to move on
Dm
Change the way you've
F            Em
lived for so long
    Am
you find the strength you've
C               Dm  F Em
had inside all along

(chorus 2)
      Am    Em    F
Cause life starts now
       Am           C
You've done all the things
           Dm           F
that could kill you somehow
           Am G   F
and you're so far down
    Am          Bb          F
but you will survive it somehow
        C
because life starts now

(bridge)
Dm       F
All this pain
C
Take this life and
G
make it yours
Dm       F    C
All this hate take your heart
    G            Dm
and let it love again
Bb                      F  C
You will survive it somehow

           A      G
and you're so far down

Life starts now
