♫ Verse 1:
Cmaj7 F#m
When we were young, we had it rough
G
Short on money, short on love
Cmaj7
That’s how the wayside takes
F#m G
The wayside keeps its ghosts
Cmaj7 F#m
Thick as thieves, my fears and me
G
We’ve been wrong and now ten years deep
Cmaj7
That’s how the wayside takes
F#m G
And it keeps a hold on me
♫ Chorus:
Cmaj7
Oh, I’m living in a no man’s land
F#m G
Nowhere land, no place left to go
Cmaj7
When I’m running from myself
F#m
I’m holding on to hope
G
But struggling to cope
Cmaj7 F#m
And there’s places I can’t leave
G
When they’re leaving a mark on me
Cmaj7
So I’m living in a no man’s land
F#m G
Everywhere I go
I’m running from myself
♫ Verse 2:
Cmaj7 F#m
Right age, wrong crowd
G
Blamed it all on my hometown
Cmaj7
But it wasn’t them
F#m G
They never let me down
Cmaj7
No, it was me
F#m
I drank, I smoked
G
I held it in until I choked
Cmaj7 F#m G
Still, these roots are wrapped around my feet
♫ Chorus:
Cmaj7
Oh, I’m living in a no man’s land
F#m G
Nowhere land, no place left to go
Cmaj7
When I’m running from myself
F#m
I’m holding on to hope
G
But struggling to cope
Cmaj7 F#m
And there’s places I can’t leave
G
When they’re leaving a mark on me
Cmaj7
So I’m living in a no man’s land
F#m G
Everywhere I go
I’m running from myself
♫ Outro:
Cmaj7 F#m G
Cmaj7 F#m G
Cmaj7 F#m
And there’s places I can’t leave
G
When they’re leaving a mark on me

So I’m living in a no man’s land
F#m G
Everywhere I go, I’m running from myself
