         G                     Cadd9

Do you know who you are? Do you ever think about it?

             G                            Cadd9

If you were told it's a place, would you drive until you found it?

           G                          Cadd9

Would you turn down a street that you know would lead 

                    Dadd9

To where you were before?

            Cadd9                    Dadd9            Cadd9

You call it home, but are you really sure that's your home? 



        G                           Cadd9 

Do you know what you want?  Have you ever reconsidered

         G                        Cadd9

What a trip we are on and it's the only ride we're given?

              G

If you could fly, would you try?

           Cadd9                            Dadd9

Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?

               Cadd9                  Dadd9     Cadd9

Can you explain why the only place you go is to waste?





        G

Now you go to work and you work all day

    Cadd9

You smoke and bitch on your coffee break

     G

You tell some jokes to kill that time

        Cadd9

Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5

    Em                  Em*

You hit those bars, you have some drinks

     G                 Am

You drown in all your long lost dreams

   C        C*        D

Oh no, 

                     G             Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

                     G             Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere





         G                       Cadd9

Do you know who you love? Can you say those words with feeling?

             G                           Cadd9

Or when you look in those eyes, is there someone else you're seeing?

         G                      Cadd9                         

Do you dream of a day you could take the love 

                 Dadd9

Without running away?

           Cadd9                      Dadd9

What is it now?  Do you need a little space? 

                   Cadd9

Or are you wanting out?





         G

Now you go to work and you work all day

    Cadd9

You smoke and bitch on your coffee break

     G

You grab that phone, rehearse those lines

         Cadd9

Then you call home sayin' you gotta work tonight

    Em                  Em*

You hit those bars, you buy some drinks

         G                   Am

For the first one who looks good 

                   C         C*        D

And thinks you're cool

                   Eadd9      Dadd9     Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

        Dadd9      Eadd9      Dadd9     Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere    

                    Em7*

You're closer to nowhere



               Cadd9*           Em7*

You fake it so well, nobody can tell

                 Cadd9*                  G        Cadd9

You buy what they sell, you're going places

                 G        Cadd9

You're going places





        G

Now you go to work and you work all day

    Cadd9

You smoke and bitch on your coffee break

      G

You share your plans and you swear you'll quit

      Cadd9

Maybe next year or the year after it

    Em                  Em*

You hit those bars, you have some drinks

     G                    Am

You take those pills, you go to sleep

    Em              Em*

You wake up someday all alone

        G     Am             C       C*      D

You realize another year is gone

                     G        Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

                     G        Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere





     G

And all these signs will be your guides

   Cadd9

But you must pay attention

     G

And all the lights that line the side

    Cadd9                      G          Cadd9

Are beautiful don't miss them

                     G          Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

                     G          Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

                     G          Cadd9

You're closer to nowhere

                     G        

You're closer to nowhere
