               B, F# , C#m, E  
Verse 1: 
 
   B                      F# 
You dont know what you got 
           C#m      E 
Until you lose it 
B             F#                    E          F#              
And I can testify that thats the truth 
B                 F#                C#m        E 
I had it all and didnt know how to use it 
             B           A                E 
I was so stupid-it was right before my eyes 
 
Chorus:    
                      B      F#                                         
       I've been looking all my life 
                C#m     E 
waiting for the perfect time 
                B                
Never knew that I would find it 
A                    E 
Right Back Where I started from 
                B      F# 
Why'd I have to go so far 
                    C#m       E 
When everything was where you are 
                   B              
How'd I know that you be waiting 
A                    E 
Right Back Where I Started From  
 
VERSE 2:{IGUAL O PRIMEIRO} 
 
Who can tell ya where the rivers flowin' 
Just ride the wave- let it take ya down 
Yeah... all the twists and turns I navigated 
Its so frustratin' you were there all the time... yeah all the time 
 
Chorus  
 
BRIDGE:    
                        E 
      Oh... where I started from 
                     F# 
Oh... I started from here 
{Then just play E, F#, E only once then...} 
F# 
I know where I'm headed to its 
C#m                   E 
Right back where I've been 
 
Chorus  
 
FINAL:                 E 
       Yeah... where I started from 
                 F# 
Oh... where I started from 
         B                 F#       C#m       E      B 
Yeah... Right Back Where...
