Intro 

G B C Am (x2) 


verse 1 

G    B          C              Am 
Someone hung a decorative surfboard 
    G      B      C           Am   
Up where your records and movies belong 
G     B            C         Am 
This light makes it nearly impossible 
Em             B             C            Am  
To see if they fixed all the cracks in the wall 

G                       Em 
Staring out the window at your old apartment 
Am              D                        
Imagining the old you stumbling through  
G                           Em 
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted  
Am                 D 
to cash in on the boom 
G                           C 
And you don't know where to go now 
G                     C 
You've got nowhere to go now 

verse 2 

G    B         C           Am 
I wish you'd come down and meet me here 
G    B         C           Am  
I'm gridlocked I'm not going anywhere 
G    B      C    Am 
I've had a bad year 

G                       Em 
Staring out the window at your old apartment 
Am              D                        
Imagining the old you stumbling through  
G                           Em 
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted  
Am                 D 
to cash in on the boom 

Post-Chorus  
(I mix this up a bit with some picking and palm muting to crescendo) 

G                           C 
And you don't know where to go now 
G                      C 
You've got nowhere to go now 
G                        C 
You don't know where to go now 
G                      C 
You've got nowhere to go now 
G                        C 
You don't know where to go now 
G                      C 
You've got nowhere to go now 


Bridge 

Em              B          C       Am 
The city don't care if you live or die 
Em              B           C            Am 
It's just gonna grow and it doesn't care why  
Em               B           C               Am   
you're tired of kicking and fighting through life 
Em             B            C         Am 
And left me alone on this cold winter night just 


G                       Em 
Staring out the window at your old apartment 
Am              D                        
Imagining the old you stumbling through  
B                           Em 
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted  
Am                 D 
to cash in on the boom 


Post-Chorus 

G                           C 
And you don't know where to go now 
G                     C 
You've got nowhere to go now 
G                     C 
You've got nowhere to go now 
G                     C 
You don't know where to go now 

End on G
