Standard Tuning

Capo on the 2nd fret


(I have no idea what's the real name of the chords with the *)

         G                     C9
Do you know who you are? Do you ever think about it?
             G                            C9
If you were told it's a place, would you drive until you found it?
           G                          C9
Would you turn down a street that you know would lead 
                    D9
To where you were before?
            C9                    D9            C9
You call it home, but are you really sure that's your home? 

        G                           C9 
Do you know what you want?  Have you ever reconsidered
         G                        C9
What a trip we are on and it's the only ride we're given?
              G
If you could fly, would you try?
           C9                            D9
Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
               C9                  D9     C9
Can you explain why the only place you go is to waste?


        G
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
     G
You tell some jokes to kill that time
        C9
Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5
    Em                  Em *
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
     G                 Am
You drown in all your long lost dreams
   C        C *        D
Oh no, 
                     G             C9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G             C9
You're closer to nowhere


         G                       C9
Do you know who you love? Can you say those words with feeling?
             G                           C9
Or when you look in those eyes, is there someone else you're seeing?
         G                      C9                         
Do you dream of a day you could take the love 
                 D9
Without running away?
           C9                      D9
What is it now?  Do you need a little space? 
                   C9
Or are you wanting out?


         G
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
     G
You grab that phone, rehearse those lines
         C9
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 *        D
And thinks you're cool
                   E9      D9     C9
You're closer to nowhere
        D9      E9      D9     C9
You're closer to nowhere    
                    Em7 *
You're closer to nowhere

               C9 *           Em7 *
You fake it so well, nobody can tell
                 C9 *                  G        C9
You buy what they sell, you're going places
                 G        C9
You're going places


        G
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C9
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
      G
You share your plans and you swear you'll quit
      C9
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       C *      D
You realize another year is gone
                     G        C9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G        C9
You're closer to nowhere


     G
And all these signs will be your guides
   C9
But you must pay attention
     G
And all the lights that line the side
    C9                      G          C9
Are beautiful don't miss them
                     G          C9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G          C9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G          C9
You're closer to nowhere
                     G        
You're closer to nowhere
