Going Nowhere - Frank Turner
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
When you're jCust a stone's throw from where you staGrted and you're goFing nowChereG  F  
When everyCthing you had that was soGlid is meFlted into aCirG  F  
When you worCked your fingers down to the bGone but didn't gFet your fair shCareG  F  
[Chorus 1]
I'll be thGere
In there like swimFwear
I'm going nowChereG  F  
[Verse 2]
When you fCeel like you're letting down your friGends and you faiFled your faCmilyG  F  
When you're a hedCgehog who can't help priGcking all the peFople that you mCeetG  F  
When the raCvens leave the tower and you're coweGring for feFar in the ciCtyG  F  
[Chorus 2]
I'll be thGere
In there like swimFwear
I'm going nowChereG  F  
The empiFres may fall, and the sFmeas may rise but I'll be Amat your side D7by and by
I'm like an armFchairG  
I'm going nowChereG  F  
[Verse 3]
When you toCok your umbrella in the raGin but you stiFll got soaCkedG  F  
When you woCrked a 62-hour wGeek but you enFded up brCokeG  F  
And when the woCrld that you thought made seGnse turned oFut to be a jCokeG  F  
[Chorus 1]
I'll be thGere
In there like swimFwear
I'm going nowChereG  F  
[Verse 4]
When you maCde your best plans but somGehow they juFst didn't wCorkG  F  
'Cause you were couCnting on your countrymen and woGmen not to Fgo berseCrkG  F  
And the futCure's falling in and all that's lGeft is a holFlow kind of hCurtG  F  
[Chorus 2]
I'll be thGere
In there like swimFwear
I'm going nowChereG  F  
[Post-Chorus]
You thFink my beauty Fmmay slip away, but I can Amtry to make you happy eD7very day
I'm like your gFray hairG  
I'm going nowChereG  F  
[Outro]
Now the tFune may falter and the wFmords may slide but here's hoAmping that the sentiment surD7vives
I'm like your record plFayer
I'm like an armGchair
I'm going nowChereG  F

Going Nowhere - Frank Turner

Capo 2

[Verse 1]

C G F C G F

When you're just a stone's throw from where you started and you're going nowhere

C G F C G F

When everything you had that was solid is melted into air

C G F C G F

When you worked your fingers down to the bone but didn't get your fair share

[Chorus 1]

I'll be there

In there like swimwear

C G F

I'm going nowhere

[Verse 2]

C G F C G F

When you feel like you're letting down your friends and you failed your family

C G F C G F

When you're a hedgehog who can't help pricking all the people that you meet

C G F C G F

When the ravens leave the tower and you're cowering for fear in the city

[Chorus 2]

I'll be there

In there like swimwear

C G F

I'm going nowhere

F Fm Am D7

The empires may fall, and the seas may rise but I'll be at your side by and by

F G

I'm like an armchair

C G F

I'm going nowhere

[Verse 3]

C G F C G F

When you took your umbrella in the rain but you still got soaked

C G F C G F

When you worked a 62-hour week but you ended up broke

C G F C G F

And when the world that you thought made sense turned out to be a joke

[Chorus 1]

I'll be there

In there like swimwear

C G F

I'm going nowhere

[Verse 4]

C G F C G F

When you made your best plans but somehow they just didn't work

C G F C G F

'Cause you were counting on your countrymen and women not to go berserk

C G F C G F

And the future's falling in and all that's left is a hollow kind of hurt

[Chorus 2]

I'll be there

In there like swimwear

C G F

I'm going nowhere

[Post-Chorus]

F Fm Am D7

You think my beauty may slip away, but I can try to make you happy every day

F G

I'm like your gray hair

C G F

I'm going nowhere

[Outro]

F Fm Am D7

Now the tune may falter and the words may slide but here's hoping that the sentiment survives

I'm like your record player

I'm like an armchair

C G F

I'm going nowhere
