The Start Of Something

[Ab]   [Cm]   [Bbm]   [C#]   [Eb]   [Fm]

[Ab] This time of night I could cal[Cm]l you up

I'd get a[Bbm]ngry with athletic ease, brea[C#]k common laws in twos and threes

[Ab]If I die clutching your [Eb]photograph

Don't call me bor[Bbm]ing, It's just 'cause I [C#]like you

[Ab]Well, Take me on back Take me on back and [Cm]take me back

To the p[Bbm]lace where I could feel your heart

[C#]Is this the end or just the start of

[Ab]Something really, really be[Eb]autiful

[Bbm]Wrapped up and disguised [C#]as something really, really ugly,

[Fm]Won't you...

[C#]Come [C#]by [C#]and [Ab]see me, I'm a l[Cm]ove letter aw[Fm]ay

I'd break y[C#]our name before I'd s[Ab]ay, "I really l[Cm]ove you, l[Cm7]ove you, "

[C#]I don't care if y[Ab]ou saw, I watched ev[Cm]ery inch of [Fm]film

Flash[C#] across your Roman[Ab] features,

And I l[Cm]oved it, lo[Cm]ved it; I [Fm]don't care if

[Ab]You think I'm eager to shu[Cm]t your eyes, well

I'm s[Bbm]orry-everybody knows you can't [C#]break me with your gutter prose

[Ab]Would you believe it, s[Eb]he sent me a letter,

The ri[Bbm]ng, it nearly weighs her down, s[C#]he's got another boy, oh boy

[Ab]Steady your ears Steady your ears and re[Cm]ad my lips

Poetr[Bbm]y is not a luxury, [C#]it's how I'll break this home

A[Ab]nd when I'm really i[Eb]ll, won't you cradle me?

Man is not[Bbm] a noble animal, but may[C#]be woman is, remember,

[Fm]I heard you...

[C#] [C#]   [C#]   [Ab]                   [Cm]
In-[Fm]side your room, you said, "You never really live
Until your [C#]back's against the wa[A]ll, " oh did you r[Cm]eally m[Cm7]ean it?

[C#]       [Ab]                [Cm]               [Fm]
I [C#]never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes
[Ab]I think it's [Cm]time to g[Cm]o home

GUITAR SOLO    Use same progression as verse ([Ab] [Cm] [Bbm]
 [Ab] [Eb] [Bbm] [C#])

Oh, t[Ab]ell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liber[Cm]ty,

See there's a [Bbm]place where I sink to s[C#]leeping

[Ab]Oh, my vote is as r[Eb]ed as my blood

         [Bbm]                         Dc
Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet

[Fm]God speed...

[C#] [C#]    [C#]  [Ab]              [Em]
I[Fm]  break the law once every week to feel your touch,

What's a [C#]book to you in b[C#]ed, Do you feel [Cm]better, [Cm7]older?

[Dm]This just makes me [Ab]ill, your name is d[Cm]ripping from my p[Fm]en

Still y[C#]ou're not around to c[Ab]urse,
I'll d[Cm]rop the [Cm]gun now, I'[Fm]m still under you...

[Fm]  [C#] repeated

[Ab]Marianne, let the ghosts sleep [Fm]tonight.
[Ab]Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just s[Fm]hut your eyes and burn the past away
