Verse 1:
D                           G/B
I should shut my mouth when I'm not addressed
D                   C7
I should go to bed lonely unless
D            G/B
It's next to you
       C                 A       D     G/B   A
'Cause no one else will do this year
D                        G/B
I should turn the voices in my head down
D                         C7
I should take the subway into downtown
D                 G/B
More often than I do
    C              A        D    C7
To send myself to you this year

Chorus:
    D
So why can't we go from the start
   Bm/D
To show them how different we are
    D                              A    D
So why can't we go from the start this year?

D G/B D G/B

Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
I'm not the kind of guy who throws himself at
The first pretty shape that crosses his path
But if you were to
I'd amend that for you this year
The change of weather has come just in time
To erase all of the remnants of the battle or lines
That we keep reliving instead of forgiving my dear

Chorus:
    D
So why can't we go from the start
    D#
To show them how different we are
    A                         A    B    E
So why can't we go from the start this year?

E A E A

Verse 3:
            E
And do you feel like a float
        A
In the Macy's Day Parade
          E
While everyone that you know
               C
Shields their eyes and looks away
      A
Well give yourself a reason
     Am
To start a brand new season
      A
Well it's time we got a new start
    Bb
To show them how different we are
    B                             C#/E#  F#
So why can't we go from the start this year?
