    C              F     C   G      C 
She wonders if the flags are waving still 
                       F  C    G 
She likes to see their colours on the hill 
              Am  G   F        C  G 
Almost like a rainbow over all of this 
C                F    C  G C 
She will fly the flag of nowhere 
                F  C    G 
Hidden with the ribbons in her hair 
             Am  G    F                 G 
Anywhere she goes she knows it's always there 
Am         F        G C      F C G   C   
Never far away from nowhere 


             F     C G        C 
Nowhere is a place inside her head 
               F C  G 
She is not its only citizen 
                 Am G F           C          G 
No one knows how many souls there may remain 
C          F     C   G C 
Carrying a torch for nowhere 
                F    C G 
Nowhere doesn't have a government 
                 Am   G   F            G 
And no one can decide how far it may extend 
Am              F      G C       F C G    C 
She will not surrender nowhere
