Lucy Kaplansky - Nowhere


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: Am C F G   Am C F G   Am

   C           F
So cold today
        G        Am
Wind is blowing
              C
You turn your face away
    F                       G      Am
Can hardly see where you're going

        C
Walking downtown
F                         G        Am
Eighth Street, Washington Square
         C
Stepping carefully
       F                  G
In the footprints someone left there


          Am        C
While the city all around you
        F          G
Becomes only paper thin
        Am           C
And the wind on your face
            F              G
Is freezing someone else's skin


        Am            C
And the sun is making movies
F                G
Slo-mo black and white
    Am                         C
You wish you could breathe the cold air
    F              G     Am
And feel it move inside


CHORUS:
    C          D         F       Am
I know what it is to be nowhere
    C             D    F  Am
I know what it's like
    C           D    F    Em      Am
I know what it is to be nowhere


         C
Long ago in your room
       F               G
You pretended you were far away
         Am               C
Then you looked into your mother's eyes
    F            G
Saw no one was reflected there


         Am                  C
Now your secrets are your companions
    F                G
You know them all by heart
        Am              C
They're written on your body
    F                G     Em
You read them in the dark


BRIDGE:
            F                   Em
Carved underneath your sweater
            F         G    Am
So you'll always remember
                 F                 Em
At least they're something to hold onto
     G      Am
Hold onto


CHORUS:
    C          D         F       Am
I know what it is to be nowhere
    C             D    F  Am
I know what it's like
    C           D    F    Em     Am        Em
I know what it is to be nowhere, nowhere


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  C F  G  Am  C  F  G C Am  F  G  Am  C  F  G  Am


        C
Walking downtown
     F                  G            Am
To a place you've never been before
     C                 F
Go inside and say your name
G               Am
Close the door
     C              F
Go inside, say your name
              G
And close the door
     Am   C  F  G
Go inside
     Am   C  F  G
Go inside
          Am   C  F  G
Ooh, go inside
