C         C7+             C                 C7+
Here's a story about the rules of death and glory
      Em                                 (Riff 1)
To be learned by heart by all children of men
         F                          Am
It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning
         Bb                             G
When the sun they said would never set finally set again
        C          C7+               C              C7+
Was it cromwell or orwell who first led you to the stairwell
       Em                           (Riff 2)
Which leads only forever to kingdom come
         F                      Am
Rushed alone by guiding hands whispers of the promised land
      Bb                               G     G G#
They wished you luck and handed you a gun

                  C          G G#
Life could be so handsome
                  C     G G#
Life could be so gay
             C
We're going nowhere
     Bb                        G
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

Continues after the ad
C                C7+          C                 C7+
In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite
Em                                         (Riff 1)
Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs
        F                                         Am
Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half-murdered each other
           Bb                     G
Then they did a karaoke turn and murdered our best song

C                   C7+             C                 C7+
Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life
     Em                               (Riff 1)
She turned away in tears called you a liar
          F                             Am
Where are all the old dreams now? the batallions, once so proud
Bb                                G                        G G#
Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbedwire

                  C          G G#
Life could be so handsome
                    C      G G#
It's so good to be okay
             C
We're going nowhere
     Bb                        G
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

Nowhere in the institutions did they teach that revolution
     Em                               (Riff 1)
Was something that could ever come to pass
       F                              Am
Oh we tried one, once before was the king's head on the floor
            Bb                          G                           G G#
And we got booted out the boozer cause someone smashed the glass

                  C          G G#
Life could be so handsome
               C      G G#
Life could be okay
             C
We're going nowhere
     Bb                        G     G G#
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

                  C          G G#
Life could be so handsome
                    C     G G#
It's all gonna be okay
             C
We're going nowhere
       Bb                        G
Cause nowhere, nowhere's on our way
                  C
Nowhere's on our way
