Where I Began

• G

G                                 D     C  D       C 
The grass looked greener on the other side so I tried to 
G                    D   C    D   C 
Snatch myself from your hand 
G                              D   C        D         C 
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh and, well, you know, I 
G                 D   C   D   C 
Got spit back on dry land. 

Give me purity and give me continence 
But oh no, not yet 
Like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept 
I was trying not to be swept. 

D                            C                   G 
Kicking against these goads sure did cut up my feet 
D                                         C 
And didn't your hands get bloody as you washed them clean. 

G      D          C 
Here I am again, back where I began 
G   D                 C 
Try as I may I can't get away from you 
G       D                    C 
And all of these roads that lead me to roam, bring me back home. 
G      D         C             G      D     C 
Here I am again, back where I began. 

So you have yourself your ninety nine 
Isn't that enough for you 
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley 
Carried me on your shoulders too. 

I've done the work of Sisyphus 
Thinking that I could get over this hill 
But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the) 
Is the force of your will.
