Mark Knopfler – The Way It Always Starts (Guitar)

B                          E
It gets so dark before the dawn

E
That's when it gets to me

E                           A           F#m
Before the city symphony of taxi horns

B          F#m           B
That's the way it always starts

A                               B             A       B
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart

B                               E

E             A              F#m   A

A                               B             A

E

E
Why can't it be all right

E
Why can't I sleep at night?

E
Why should it have to be this way?

E
Why must there be this price to pay?

B      E        B
   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

B                                E
Now all the streets are dark and bare

E
Oh, if you can live in this town

E                              A         F#m A
And stick around, you can live anywhere

B
That's the way it always starts

A                               B             A     B    A     B     E
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart
