[Intro]
C*          Am7       Fmaj7  C  
[Verse 1]
                   C*                     Am7  
We all face the same way, Still it takes all day.
I take a look to mFmaj7y left, Pick out the worsCt and the best.
              C*             Am7  
She paints her lip,  greasy and thick.
Another mirror Fmaj7stare. And she's going Dmwhere?C  
[Verse 2]
               C*                     Am7  
Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare.
Talk dirty tFmaj7o the priest, it makes them Chuman at least.
              C*                        Am7  
Is she running away, to start a brand new day?
Or she's goinFmaj7g home, why's she driving Dmalone?C  
[Chorus]
Is aFmaj7nyone gDmoing anyCwhere?
EveFmaj7ryone's goDmtta be someCwherAmeFmaj7  C

[Verse 3]
                     C*                      Am  
She's got a body in the boot?, Or just bags of food?
Those are modelFmaj7s legs?, But are they womenCs? Are they mens?
              C*                               Am7  
She shouts down the phone, she missed a payment on the loan
She's go to be above Fmaj7the rest, keeping up with the DmbestC  
[Chorus]
Is aFmaj7nyone gDmoing anyCwhere?
EveFmaj7ryone's goDmtta be someCwherAmeFmaj7  C

                         C*                    Fmaj7  
She waits tables for a crook? You wrote a hardback book?
You teach kids how Amto read? Sell your body on tFmaj7he street?
                C*                Am7  
A nurse without a job? Another uptown snob?
But have I got you all Fmaj7wrong, one look and you weDmre goCne
[Chorus]
Is aFmaj7nyone gDmoing anyCwhere? Is aFmaj7nyone gDmoing anyCwhere?
