So Ccold todayF  
Wind is GblowingAm  
You turn your Cface away
Can Fhardly see where you're GgoingAm

Stepping Ccarefully
In the Ffootprints someone Gleft there
While the Amcity all aCround you
Becomes Fonly paper Gthin
And the Amwind on your Cface
Is freezing Fsomeone else's Gskin
And the Amsun is making Cmovies
FSlo-mo black and Gwhite
You Amwish you could breathe the Ccold air
And Ffeel it move inGsideAm  
CHORUS:

I knCow what it's lDikeF  Am  
I knCow what it iDs to Fbe noEmwhereAm  
Long ago Cin your room
You preFtended you were Gfar away
Then you Amlooked into your Cmother's eyes
Saw Fno one was reGflected there
Now your Amsecrets are your comCpanions
You Fknow them all by Gheart
They're Amwritten on your Cbody
You Fread them in the GdarkEm  
BRIDGE:
Carved underFneath your sweaterEm  
So you'll alFways rememGberAm  
At least they're Fsomething to hold Emonto
Hold GontoAm

Lucy Kaplansky - Nowhere

CAPO: 2nd Fret

Am C F G Am C F G Am

INTRO:

C F

So cold today

G Am

Wind is blowing

You turn your face away

F G Am

Can hardly see where you're going

Walking downtown

F G Am

Eighth Street, Washington Square

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

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

Am C F G Am C F G C Am F G Am C F G Am

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

And close the door

Am C F G

Go inside

Am C F G

Go inside

Am C F G

Ooh, go inside

OUTRO: Am C F G (8x - fade to end)
