[Verse 1]

A Amaj7

I’m going nowhere

A Amaj7

I can’t move forward

A Amaj7 F#m F#

I’m so much colder than I’ve been

Bm BmM7 Bm7

Since, say, October

BmM7 Bm BmM7

When we were closer

Esus4 E

And it was love that we were in

C#m

If I was a smarter man I’d understand

F#m F#

I’m alone when I look in the mirror

We said our goodbyes and

I closed my eyes and

Bm E

You’re still here

[Verse 2]

A Amaj7

I'm going nowhere

A Amaj7

Just getting older

A Amaj7 F#m F#

Watching the whole world pass me by

Bm BmM7 Bm7

Against better reason

BmM7 Bm BmM7

I take memories in

Esus4 E

Sit back and repeat them every night

C#m

Maybe I stayed too long

Overplayed this song

F#m

I don’t mind

I’m inclined to agree

If I’m going nowhere

Dm A

Then there is nowhere I’d rather be

[Bridge]

G D

I wonder if she remembers something

Dm A

The way that I remember her

G D

Wonder if pre-September ever was

The way we were

If I’m going nowhere

Dm A

Then there is nowhere I’d rather be

G D

I wonder if she remembers anything

Dm A

The way that I do her

G D

Wonder if pre-September ever was

The way we were

G A

Well it’s all a blur

[Verse 3]

A Amaj7

I’m going nowhere

A Amaj7

She said it’s over

A Amaj7 F#m F#

Still I look forward to the Fall

Bm BmM7 Bm7

Another October

BmM7 Bm BmM7

I’m sorry I know you’re

Esus4 E

Expecting a less than sober call

C#m

Maybe you’re right, I’m scared

It might go nowhere

F#m F#

And it’s making it hard to believe

That I’m going nowhere

Dm A

And there is nowhere I’d rather be

[Outro]

If you could just show where

I can go nowhere

That’s where I’ll be
