INTRO: Am C F G Am C F G Am
C F So cold today
G Am Wind is blowing
C You turn your face away
F G Can hardly see where you're going
Am
C Walking downtown
F G Eighth Street, Washington Square
Am
C Stepping carefully
F G In the footprints someone left there
Am C While the city all around you
F G Becomes only paper thin
Am C And the wind on your face
F G Is freezing someone else's skin
Am C And the sun is making movies
F G Slo-mo black and white
Am C You wish you could breathe the cold air
Continues after the ad
F G Am And feel it move inside CHORUS:
C D F Am I know what it is to be nowhere
C D F Am I know what it's like
C D F Em Am I know what it is to be nowhere
C Long ago in your room
F G You pretended you were far away
Am C Then you looked into your mother's eyes
F G Saw no one was reflected there
Am C Now your secrets are your companions
F G You know them all by heart
Am C They're written on your body
F G Em You read them in the dark BRIDGE:
F Em Carved underneath your sweater
F G Am So you'll always remember
F At least they're something to hold
Em onto
G Am Hold onto CHORUS:
C D F Am I know what it is to be nowhere
C D F Am I know what it's like
C D F Em I know what it is to be nowhere,
Am Em nowhere
INSTRUMENTAL: Am C F G Am C
F G C Am F G Am C F G Am
C Walking downtown
F G To a place you've never been
Am before
C F Go inside and say your name
G Am Close the door
C F Go inside, say your name
G And close the door
Am C F G Go inside
Am C F G Go inside
Am C F G Ooh, go inside
