Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[Am][Am][A][A]
[Bb][C][C#][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]The lanes were silent
There was [Bb]nothing, no one,
no[C]thing around for [D]miles
[D][D][D]
I [Gm]doused our friendly venture
With a [Bb]hard-faced [C]three-word gesture

[Chorus 1]
[Am]I started something
I [A]forced you to a zone
And you were [Bb]clearly
[C]Never [C#]meant to [D]go
[Am]Hair brushed and parted
Typical [A]me, typical me, typical me
I started [Bb]something
[C]And now I'm not[C#] too sure[D]
[D][D][D]

[Verse 2]
I [Gm]grabbed you by the guilded beams
[Bb]Uh, that's w[C]hat tradition [D]means
[D][D][D]
And I [Gm]doused another venture
With a [Bb]gesture that was [C]absolutely vile

[Chorus 2]
[Am]I started something
I [A]forced you to a zone
And you were [Bb]clearly
[C]Never [C#]meant to [D]go
[Am]Hair brushed and parted
Typical [A]me, typical me, typical me
I started [Bb]something
[C]And now I'm not[C#] too sure[D]
[D][D][D][D][D]

[Verse 3]
I [Gm]grabbed you by the guilded beams
[Bb]Uh, that's what [C]tradition mean[D]s
[D][D][D]
And now [Gm]eighteen months' hard labor
[Bb]seems [C]fair enough

[Chorus 3]
[Am]I started something
And I [A]forced you to a zone
And you were [Bb]clearly
[C]Never [C#]meant to [D]go
[Am]Hair brushed and parted
Typical [A]me, typical me, typical me
I started [Bb]something
[C]And now I'm not[C#] too sure[D]

[Outro 1]
[Am]I started something
[A]I started something
[Bb][C][C#][D]
Typical [Am]me, typical me
Typical me, typical me
Typical [A]me typical me, typical me
I started [Bb]something
And [C]now I'm [C#]not too [D]sure
[Am][A]
[Fade out]
