C                                     G                 F      C      G F
When you're just a stone's throw from where you started and you're going nowhere
          C                        G        F          C    G F
When everything you had that was solid is melted into air
            C                             G               F              C     G F
When you worked your fingers down to the bone but didn't get your fair share


[Chorus 1]
          G
I'll be there
                  F
In there like swimwear
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere


[Verse 2]
          C                                    G               F          C      G F
When you feel like you're letting down your friends and you failed your family
                 C                       G               F              C     G F
When you're a hedgehog who can't help pricking all the people that you meet
           C                                   G          F           C    G F
When the ravens leave the tower and you're cowering for fear in the city


[Chorus 2]
          G
I'll be there
                  F
In there like swimwear
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere

        F                      Fm                       Am           D7
The empires may fall, and the seas may rise but I'll be at your side by and by
               F       G
I'm like an armchair
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere


[Verse 3]
           C                         G             F         C      G F
When you took your umbrella in the rain but you still got soaked
           C               G             F        C     G F
When you worked a 62-hour week but you ended up broke
               C                           G           F           C     G F
And when the world that you thought made sense turned out to be a joke


[Chorus 1]
          G
I'll be there
                  F
In there like swimwear
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere


[Verse 4]
           C                         G           F          C     G F
When you made your best plans but somehow they just didn't work
                   C                              G          F       C    G F
'Cause you were counting on your countrymen and women not to go berserk
           C                                G           F            C     G F
And the future's falling in and all that's left is a hollow kind of hurt


[Chorus 2]
          G
I'll be there
                  F
In there like swimwear
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere


[Post-Chorus]
      F             Fm                       Am                     D7
You think my beauty may slip away, but I can try to make you happy every day
               F          G
I'm like your gray hair
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere


[Outro]
         F                       Fm                          Am                         D7
Now the tune may falter and the words may slide but here's hoping that the sentiment survives
                       F
I'm like your record player
               G
I'm like an armchair
             C      G F
I'm going nowhere
