         G                     
Do you know who you are? Do you ever
Cadd9
 think about it?
             G                     
If you were told it's a place, 
       Cadd9
would you drive until you found it?
           G                     
Would you turn down a street that 
     Cadd9
you know would lead
                    Dadd9
To where you were before?
            Cadd9                  
You call it home, but are you 
  Dadd9            Cadd9
really sure that's your home?

        G                          
Do you know what you want?  Have 
 Cadd9
you ever reconsidered
         G                        
What a trip we are on and it's the
Cadd9
 only ride we're given?
              G
If you could fly, would you try?
           Cadd9                   
Would your feet stay firmly planted
         Dadd9
 on the ground?
               Cadd9               
Can you explain why the only place 
   Dadd9     Cadd9
you go is to waste?


        G
Now you go to work and you work all 
day
    Cadd9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee 
break
     G
You tell some jokes to kill that 
time
        Cadd9
Til the boss comes back and at the 
stroke of 5
    Em                  Em*
You hit those bars, you have some 
drinks
Continues after the ad
     G                 Am
You drown in all your long lost 
dreams
   C        C*        D
Oh no,
                     G             
You're closer to nowhere
Cadd9

                     G             
You're closer to nowhere
Cadd9



         G                       
Do you know who you love? Can you
Cadd9
 say those words with feeling?
             G                     
Or when you look in those eyes, is 
      Cadd9
there someone else you're seeing?
         G                      
Do you dream of a day you could 
Cadd9
take the love
                 Dadd9
Without running away?
           Cadd9              
What is it now?  Do you need a 
        Dadd9
little space?
                   Cadd9
Or are you wanting out?


         G
Now you go to work and you work all 
day
    Cadd9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee 
break
     G
You grab that phone, rehearse those 
lines
         Cadd9
Then you call home sayin' you gotta 
work tonight
    Em                  Em*
You hit those bars, you buy some 
drinks
         G                   Am
For the first one who looks good
                   C         C*   
And thinks you're cool
     D

                   Eadd9      
You're closer to nowhere
Dadd9     Cadd9

        Dadd9      Eadd9      
You're closer to nowhere
Dadd9     Cadd9

                    Em7*
You're closer to nowhere

               Cadd9*           Em7*
You fake it so well, nobody can tell
                 Cadd9*            
You buy what they sell, you're 
      G        Cadd9
going places
                 G        Cadd9
You're going places


        G
Now you go to work and you work all 
day
    Cadd9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee 
break
      G
You share your plans and you swear 
you'll quit
      Cadd9
Maybe next year or the year after it
    Em                  Em*
You hit those bars, you have some 
drinks
     G                    Am
You take those pills, you go to 
sleep
    Em              Em*
You wake up someday all alone
        G     Am             C   
You realize another year is gone
    C*      D

                     G        Cadd9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G        Cadd9
You're closer to nowhere


     G
And all these signs will be your 
guides
   Cadd9
But you must pay attention
     G
And all the lights that line the 
side
    Cadd9                      G  
Are beautiful don't miss them
        Cadd9

                     G          
You're closer to nowhere
Cadd9

                     G          
You're closer to nowhere
Cadd9

                     G          
You're closer to nowhere
Cadd9

                     G
You're closer to nowhere
