[Intro ]
G G/F# Em C D
Em C
Staring out my window
D G
I feel the need to get away for a day
Em
Find myself again
C
Find out what makes me tick
D
What makes me go 'round and 'round
C D
I feel like I'm walking in circles with a pair of concrete feet
C D
Trudging along the best I can tryin' to keep up with the beat
C D
But I ain't goin' nowhere fast, call me nowhere man
Em C
I put my whole life on display
D G
For everyone to see, look at me
Em
But I've been on the shelf for a while
C
My cup is rusty, I'm out of style
D
They call me an antique
C D
I feel like I'm walking in circles with a pair of blinders on my eyes
C D
But I cover it up the best I can with my legendary smile
C D
But I ain't goin' nowhere fast, call me nowhere man
Bridge:
C D
I'm surrounded by a bunch of people dont give a damn what I have to say
C D
But lately I've been giving less of a damn about what those people think
C D
Nowhere can be a lonely place if you let it get inside your head
C D
But sometimes I think I'd rather be here instead.
C D
I'm goin' nowhere fast, call me nowhere man
C D
I'm goin' nowhere fast, call me nowhere man
C D
I'm goin' nowhere fast, call me nowhere man
