Nowhere Baby

       Eb              Cm         
When I look back on my youth, it’s
    Ab              Bb
 no wonder that I’m here
          Eb               
There’s a path made for my  
 Cm               Ab           
footsteps, that  finish line is  
   Bb
near
           Eb               
Though the years are passing 
 Cm           Ab              Bb
quickly, I believe I’m on my way
      Eb                Cm    
But a voice beneath the surface 
        Ab         Bb
still manages to say

[Chorus]
            Eb      Cm    Ab      
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere 
Bb
baby)
            Eb      Cm    Ab      
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere)
 Bb

            Eb      Cm    Ab      
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere 
Bb
baby)
            Eb       Cm Ab Bb
I’m getting nowhere

[Verse 2]
            Eb              Cm    
I made some money made some 
            Ab         Bb
friends and some memories to hold
            Eb               
Crossed the mountains and the 
 Cm                 Ab            
valleys fought the swelter and the
  Bb
 cold
       Eb              Cm         
From a different angle maybe this 
   Ab                Bb
adventure could seem grand
        Eb               Cm       
But the one I missed too often is 
      Ab                 Bb
being there to hold your hand

[Chorus]
            Eb      Cm    Ab      
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere 
Bb
baby)

[Verse 3]
            Cm              
I’m slowing down but I’m not 
 Gm                    Ab    
quitting, I’m looking hard and 
            Bb
stepping back
           Cm               Gm    
But I will finish what I’ve 
         Ab                Bb
started I will keep my suitcase 
packed
         Cm           Gm     
I’m just weary of the working, 
          Ab               Bb
trading songs for fickle love
         Cm              Gm 
And it’s time I showed myself 
          Ab             Abm Ab
exactly what I am made of

[Bridge]
             Eb           
That’s not a cop-out not a 
 Cm               Ab            Bb
dream-drop not a close-but-no-cigar
             Eb              
And it’s not glamour it ain’t 
 Cm                         Ab    
fortune sometimes it ain’t 
       Bb
anything but hard
          Eb          Cm          
I’m not a robot I’m a human I’m 
  Ab                Bb
not built to bear the weight
      Eb               Cm         
And I  struggle with admitting 
    Ab             Bb
when I need to walk away

[Chorus]
            Eb       Cm     Ab   
I’m getting  nowhere  baby 
    Bb
(nowhere  baby)
            Eb      Cm     Ab Bb
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere)
            Eb       Cm     Ab   
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere
   Bb
 baby)
            Eb      Cm Ab Bb
I’m getting nowhere
Eb       Cm    Ab
No where baby (nowhere  baby)
                         Ab Bb
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere)
            Eb       Cm    Ab     
I’m getting nowhere baby (nowhere 
 Bb
baby)
            Eb       Cm Ab Bb
I’m getting nowhere
