Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: A Self Called Nowhere
Album: John Henry
[Verse 1]
Gm D7
I'm sitting on the curb by the
Bb E
empty parking lot of the
Cm Dsus4 D Gm E
store where they let me play the organ
Am Ammaj7
I'm waiting for my ride
Cm Ebm Bb
But I want to wait inside of the store
A Bb
where they let me play the organ
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm F
But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
Ebm F
In the room at the top of the stair
Ebm
N.C.
And I'm looking down the stairwell
at the vanishing
[Chorus]
Gb E
dot on the map of the spot
Eb
Let me take you there
Gb E
The dotted line surrounding the mind
Eb
of a self-called nowhere
Gb E
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
Eb
You can't see it there
Gb E
The sunken head that lies in the bed
Eb
of a self-called nowhere
[Bridge] (Chorus chords)
[Verse 2]
Gm D7
Standing in my yard
Bb E
where they tore down the garage
Cm Dsus4 D Gm E
to make room for the torn down garage
Am Ammaj7
I'm looking for my car
Cm Ebm Bb
But I must've sold my car
A Bb
when I needed to buy an electric organ
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm F
But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
Ebm F
In the room at the top of the stair
Ebm
N.C.
And I'm looking down the stairwell
at
[Chorus]
Gb E
the vanishing dot on the map of the spot
Eb
Let me take you there
Gb E
The dotted line surrounding the mind
Eb
of a self-called nowhere
Gb E
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
Eb
You can't see it there
Gb E
The sunken head that lies in the bed
Eb
of a self-called nowhere
[Bridge] (Chorus chords)
[Chorus] (w/ phaser)
the vanishing dot on the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line surrounding the mind
of a self-called nowhere
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head that lies in the bed
of a self-called nowhere
