[Intro: ]C Am F/E C
Estrofe 1:
C
We all face the same way
Am
Still it takes all day
F/E
Take a look to my left
C
Pick out the worst and the best
C (*)
She paints her lip
Am
Greasy and thick
F/E
Another mirror stare
Dsus2 C (*)
And she's going where?
Estrofe 2:
(Same chords and rhythm as Verse 1)
Another office affair
To kill an unborn scare?
You talk dirty to a priest
Makes you human at least
Is she running away
To start a brand new day?
Or she going home?
Why's she driving alone?
Refrão 1:
F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?
F/E Dsus2 C Am F/E C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
Estrofe 3:
(mesmo acorde e ritmo das estrofes 1 e 2)
She got a body in the boot
Or just bags full of food?
Those are models legs
But are they womens are they mens?
She shouts down the phone
Missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest
Keeping up with the best

F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

Everyone's gotta be somewhere
instrumental:
G F/E {x2}

Estrofe 4:
Waits tables for a crook?
Wrote a hard back book?
You teach kids how to read?
Or sell your body on the street?
A nurse without a job?
Another uptown snob?
But have I got you all wrong?
Refrão 3:
F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?
F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?
