G            G/C    G           G/C    G    G/C   G
Hold on to nothing hold on to coldest steel,
D                        C             G             G/C    G  G/C
it chills you down inside when you see just what is real,
G                        G/C G                      G/C      G  G/C  G  G/C
paste it up and tear it down move it on along the rushing road,
D             C                G   G/C  G  G/C
17 Fahrenheit feel the winter grow,

There's nowhere to write it there's nowhere to write it
          G
there's nowhere to write it down,
Am
There's nowhere to write it there's nowhere to write it
          G
there's nowhere to write it down,
Am                                G    G/C   G   G/C
nowhere to write it down write it down

G                  G/C   G               G/C    G    G/C  G  G/C
Step down the alley walking against the stony crowd,
D                              C        G    G/C    G    G/C
trying not to listen but they shout so loud,
G                        G/C   G                           G/C      G   G/C  G  G/C
chew you up and spit you out, crush you between its finger and its thumb,
D                          C                              G   G/C  G G/C
the world in all its anger oh and there's always more to come

Am
There's nowhere to write it there's nowhere to write it
          G
there's nowhere to write it down,
Am
There's nowhere to write it there's nowhere to write it
          G
there's nowhere to write it down,
Am                                G    G/C   G   G/C
nowhere to write it down write it down
