Closer To Nowhere chords by Jen Foster

A
Do you know who you are?
    D
Do you ever think about it?
    A
If you were told it’s a place
     D
Would you drive until you found it?

       A
Or would you turn down a street
     D                 F#min
That you know would lead to where you were before?
      D            F#min
You call it home, but are you really sure
      D
That’s your home?

    A
Do you know what you want?
     D
Have you ever reconsidered
    A
What a trip we are on
       D
And it’s the only ride we’re given?

       A
If you could fly, would you try?
      D                F#min
Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
      D              F#min
Can you explain why the only place you go
    D
Is to waste?

    A
Now you go to work and you work all day
   D
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
  A
You tell some jokes to kill that time
    D
Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5
   F#min       Chord E*
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
   A        Bmin
You drown in all your long lost dreams
  D        E
Oh nooooooooo,
         A
you’re closer to nowhere
D
closer to nowhere

    A
Do you know who you love?
    D
Can you say those words with feeling?
      A
Or when you look in those eyes
     D
Is there someone else you’re seeing?

    A
Do you dream of a day
     D                F#min
You could take the love without running away?
      D             F#min
What is it now? Do you need a little space?
          D
Or are you wanting out?

    A
Now you go to work and you work all day
   D
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
  A
You grab that phone, rehearse those lines
     D
Then you call home sayin’ you gotta work tonight
  F#min        E*
You hit those bars, you buy some drinks
    A          Bmin
For the first one who looks good and thinks
    D   E
you’re cool,
         F#min
You’re closer to nowhere...

Bridge:
E, D, E, F#min, E, D, D

Bmin       D
  You fake it so well
      Bmin
Nobody can tell
          D
You buy what they sell
(rest)       A   D
You’re going places....
          A   D
You’re going places....

    A
Now you go to work and you work all day
  D
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
   A
You share your plans and you swear you’ll quit
    D
Maybe next year or the year after it
  F#min        E*
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
  A           Bmin
You take those pills, you go to sleep
  F#min      E*
You wake up someday all alone
  A    Bmin      D   E
You realize another year is gone
         A    D
You’re closer to nowhere
        A     D
You’re closer to nowhere

   A
And all these signs will be your guides
  D
But you must pay attention
  A
And all the lights that line the sides
  D
Are beautiful, don’t miss them...


You’re closer to nowhere...
