When I was a boy
C F A#
I went running off to school
C F C
Went home every evening
F
Like there was nothing else to do
C A#
One night I looked out my window
C Dm C A#
And while the moon was racing past
F
I sat up there and wondered
Dm C F A# C
Am I goin' nowhere fast?
F A#
C F
I see the telephone post
C F
I watch a sparrow fly
C A# F A#
And all the lonely souls know
C F
But I just drive on by
A# C
A# F
And I think of all the dreams there
C Am Dm C A#
That never came to pass
F
And I can't help but wonder
Dm C F A# C
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
F A# C
Nowhere fast
A#
And I don't have an answer
Dm
And I don't have a clue
A#
Why people act so crazy
F
But I guess I'm crazy too
C F A# C
A little bit crazy too
F C
A# F C C#m Dm C

A# C
I watch my baby sleeping
F
It's been a long hard day
Am F
And she looks so peaceful
C F A#
Lost in the faraway
C A#
Sometimes I just wanna hold her
C Am Dm
And make one moment last
C A# F Dm
But all I do is wonder
C F A#
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
C F C
Nowhere fast
F A#
Nowhere
C F
Are we goin' nowhere fast?
