Standard Tuning

Capo on the 2nd fret


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

         G5                     C5
Do you know who you are? Do you ever think about it?
             G5                            C5
If you were told it's a place, would you drive until you found it?
           G5                          C5
Would you turn down a street that you know would lead 
                    D5
To where you were before?
            C5                    D5            C5
You call it home, but are you really sure that's your home? 

        G5                           C5 
Do you know what you want?  Have you ever reconsidered
         G5                        C5
What a trip we are on and it's the only ride we're given?
              G5
If you could fly, would you try?
           C5                            D5
Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
               C5                  D5     C5
Can you explain why the only place you go is to waste?


        G5
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C5
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
     G5
You tell some jokes to kill that time
        C5
Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5
    E5                  E5 *
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
     G5                 A5
You drown in all your long lost dreams
   C5        C5 *        D5
Oh no, 
                     G5             C5
You're closer to nowhere
                     G5             C5
You're closer to nowhere


         G5                       C5
Do you know who you love? Can you say those words with feeling?
             G5                           C5
Or when you look in those eyes, is there someone else you're seeing?
         G5                      C5                         
Do you dream of a day you could take the love 
                 D5
Without running away?
           C5                      D5
What is it now?  Do you need a little space? 
                   C5
Or are you wanting out?


         G5
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C5
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
     G5
You grab that phone, rehearse those lines
         C5
Then you call home sayin' you gotta work tonight
    E5                  E5 *
You hit those bars, you buy some drinks
         G5                   A5
For the first one who looks good 
                   C5         C5 *        D5
And thinks you're cool
                   E5      D5     C5
You're closer to nowhere
        D5      E5      D5     C5
You're closer to nowhere    
                    E5 *
You're closer to nowhere

               C5 *           E5 *
You fake it so well, nobody can tell
                 C5 *                  G5        C5
You buy what they sell, you're going places
                 G5        C5
You're going places


        G5
Now you go to work and you work all day
    C5
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
      G5
You share your plans and you swear you'll quit
      C5
Maybe next year or the year after it
    E5                  E5 *
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
     G5                    A5
You take those pills, you go to sleep
    E5              E5 *
You wake up someday all alone
        G5     A5             C5       C5 *      D5
You realize another year is gone
                     G5        C5
You're closer to nowhere
                     G5        C5
You're closer to nowhere


     G5
And all these signs will be your guides
   C5
But you must pay attention
     G5
And all the lights that line the side
    C5                      G5          C5
Are beautiful don't miss them
                     G5          C5
You're closer to nowhere
                     G5          C5
You're closer to nowhere
                     G5          C5
You're closer to nowhere
                     G5        
You're closer to nowhere
