Nowhere chords by Lucy Kaplansky

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
