This is a great song so I decided to do it.
Can't understand why Nowhere To Here is considered a lesser album,
personally I think it's great! Anyways, please rate, comment, and enjoy!


This is the main guitar part for the verse,
you can just do simple strummings of the chords...
that works too

Em C G D (x4)


Em C G D
We sat around at night and talked about so many things
Em C G D
lay on the floor till the morning appeared
Em C G D
you laughed at me and said I just don't get it
Em C G D
you said we should be making plans for getting out of here


Em C G D


Em C G D
Somebody told me when I was just a little kid
Em C G D
don't follow leaders just think for yourself
Em C G D
but everybody minds everybody else's business here
Em C G D
why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else


Em C G D (x2)

G
Tell me no use thinking
F C G
we could ever be something
F C G
we could rise with the stars
F C D
better off as we are

Em C G D
My older brother he left the day he finished school
Em C G D
moved down to New York to Washington Square
Em C G D
he calls me up and says you should come and see me
Em C G D
watch the waves of people rolling everywhere


Em C G D (x2)

G
Tell me no use thinking
F C G
we could ever be something
F C G
we could rise with the stars
F C D
better off as we are


Em C G D (x4)
G F C (x2)
G F C D

Em C G D
Late in the evening I'm up in my room
Em C G D
trying to think of nothing clear away the day
Em C G D
I lie awake and let my body wander
Em C G D
up into the moonlight floating away


Em C G D (x2)


G
Tell me no use thinking
F C G
we could ever be something
F C G
we could rise with the stars
F C D
better off as we are

Em C G D (x4)
G F C
End on G
