Intro: Am C F G   Am C F G   Am  

   C           F 
So cold today 
        G        Am 
Wind is blowing 
              C    
You turn your face away 
    F                       G      Am 
Can hardly see where you're going 


        C       
Walking downtown 
F                         G        Am 
Eighth Street, Washington Square 
         C    
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 


         C       
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 


Instrumental: Am  C F  G  Am  C  F  G C Am  F  G  Am  C  F  G  Am 


        C 
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 
              G 
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)
