[Verse 1]
    G                    
The road rolls out like a
             Gadd11  G
 welcome mat
     G                        
To a better place than the one
        Gadd11  G
 we're at
     D                      Dsus2
And i ain't got no kinda plan
     C                   
I've had all of this town 
           Cmaj7 C
I can stand
  G                     
I got friends out on the 
       Gadd11  G
coast
       G                        
We can jump in the water and see
             Gadd11  G
 what floats
      D                      
We've been saving for a rainy 
     Dsus2
day
      C                      
Let's beat the storm and be on 
         Cmaj7 C
our way

[Chorus]
Em       D/F#      G
It don't matter to me
            C9     D/F#          G
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
    Em         D/F#        G
And Honey, for once in our life
               C9          D/F#     G
Let's take our chances and roll the dice
  C9                       D/F#
I can be your lucky penny, you 
                      G
can be my four-leaf clover

[Verse 2]
     G                   
This might not be an easy 
      Gadd11  G
time
        G                        
There's rivers to cross and hills
          Gadd11  G
 to climb
D                             Dsus2
Some days we might fall apart
         C                     
And some nights might feel cold
          Cmaj7 C
 and dark
  G                       Gadd11  G
Nobody wins afraid of losing
        G                 
And the hard roads are the 
                     Gadd11  G
ones worth choosing
D                                   Dsus2
Some days we'll look back and smile
    C                      
And hope it was worth every
       Cmaj7 C
 mile

How to play Starting Over: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Starting Over by Chris Stapleton on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Starting Over by Chris Stapleton is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 10 chords in all: G, Gadd11, Cmaj7, C, D, Dsus2, Em, D/F#, C9 and Am.

The backbone of the song is D/F# – G – C9 – D/F# (V – I – IV9 – V in G major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Gadd11 and C9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
