[Verse 1]
DEm
We were wandering down by the river, that day
DEm
Just me and 'bout five of my friends
DEm
We were all getting ready to start the fifth grade
DEm
As summer had come to an end
DEm
I could see that something washed up on the banks
DEm
What it was wasn't clear to me yet
DEm
The closer we came, it was clear to my eyes
DEm
This was something we'd never forget
[Chorus 1]
GD
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies
GD
Breathless and exposed
GD
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight
GD
Naked and alone
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
DEm
None of us had ever seen her before
DEm
You'd remember such a strange face
DEm
Her mouth shut like a confessional door
DEm
Like she still had something to say
[Chorus 2]
GD
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies
GD
Breathless and exposed
GD
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight
GD
Naked and alone
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
CD
Her blue eyes froze like a fawn in headlights
GC
Caught in some dangerous game
AmD
Then we gathered some leaves from the base of the trees
EmC
And made a blanket to cover her frame
CD
Oh, Nowhere Girl, how did you end up here?

[Verse 3]
DEm
The very next day we returned to the place
DEm
But the Nowhere Girl was nowhere
DEm
Our blanket of leaves had been lost to a breeze
DEm
Like confetti thrown in the air
DEm
We each had a theory and conspiracy
DEm
Of how the Nowhere Girl disappeared
DEm
To this day, I can still see her face
DEm
Haunting me for thirty-five years
[Chorus 3]

Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies

Breathless and exposed

Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight

Naked and alone

We were young, autumn skies

We were young, under moonlight

Oh, oh, oh, oh
