When Will I Begin

C  Am   E7  F

[Verse 1]

C              Am
There are papers surrounding me

E7
Keeping me buried

F
Beneath a sea

C                   Am
These are the things weighing me down

E7
Not letting me breathe

F
Or make a sound

C                    Am
But it's not too late to start anew

E7
I need some help you can

F
Show me what to do

[Chorus]

                C
But when will I begin?

          Am
When will I begin?

         E7             F
When will I begin to be free?

            C
When will I begin?

          Am
When will I begin?

          E7            F           D7       G*
When will I begin to be free? Oh be free


[Verse 2]

         Am
Will you walk with me?

         C
Will you talk with me?

         Am                   C
Will you say all the things I need you to say?

    F                   C     G
And Iiiiiiii, I'll come ruuuunning

           Am           C
Then we'll laugh in the rain

          Am                C
And we'll crash through the waves

          Am          C        G
And we'll sing each refrain so sweetly

            Am           C
Know I will lay down and die

   Am           C
Oh Lord, if you lie

        Am         C              G
All the air in the world would be leaving


[G  O]

Am      C
Am      C
Am      C       G
Am      C
Am      C
Am      C       G


[Verse 3]

         Am
Will you hold me close?

         C
Like the holy ghost

Am               C
Say the things I need the most

    F                   C      G
And Iiiiiiii, I'll come ruuuuunning

           Am           C
Then we'll laugh in the rain

          Am                C
And we'll crash through the waves

          Am          C        G
And we'll sing each refrain so sweetly

          Am               C
And we'll hold on till the end

  Am                       C
I know you're always gonna be my friend

        Am            C        G (hold)
All the weight in the world is leaving


[Chorus}

               C*
So when will I begin?

              Am
When will I begin?

              E7       F
When will I begin to be free?

            C
When will I begin?

              Am
When will I begin?

              E7       F
When will I begin to be free?
