Going Nowhere

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


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


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


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

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


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


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


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


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


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

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