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
