The Way To Nowhere

 
              verse 1 
      G 
She's on her way to work 
 
Her heart is wearing thin 
     Em 
The tattoos leave a mark 
 
From everywhere she's been 
            Am 
Cause she's never in one place 
    C 
She takes it on the chin 
     G 
Now tears are welling up 
 
And they are rushing down her skin 
            Am 
While she's pushing trough the door 
     C 
She hides behind a grin 
    G 
But no one really knows 
 
How sad she feels within 
Am C G 
Oh, oh 
Am                  C             G  D 
Life goes on, put a sad song on 
 
 
Chorus 
      G 
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love 
   D 
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough 
     Am 
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile 
               C      G    D 
But she falls down, down, down 
 
She's on her way 
G 
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up 
    D 
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up 
      Am 
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile 
              C       G    D 
But she falls down, down, down 
                     G 
She's on her way to nowhere 
 
 
verse 2 
G 
Driving in the rain to her house right up the road 
    Em 
Her name is on the mailbox but it never feels like home 
            Am                                 C 
When she's climbing into bed, you know, she's climbing all alone 
             G 
When she's climbing into bed 
 
She's climbing on her own 
Am C G 
Oh, oh 
Am                  C             G D 
Life goes on, put a sad song on 
 
 
Chorus 
      G 
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love 
    D 
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough 
       Am 
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile 
                C    G     D 
But she falls down, down, down 
 
She's on her way 
 G 
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up 
    D 
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up 
      Am 
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile 
               C     G     D 
But she falls down, down, down 
                     G 
She's on her way to nowhere 
 
 
verse 3 
      G 
He's working at the bar 
 
And takes a later shift 
   Em 
A little drunk and far too young to end up just like this 
        Am 
When he takes her by the hand 
C 
She does not resist 
        G                D 
They're on their way to nowhere because nowhere sure beats this 
 
 
Chorus 
      G 
She's tryna go the distance, now she's got a little love 
   D 
A little makes a difference, even if it's not enough 
    Am 
The chocolate bars and magazines, just leave 'em on the shelf 
             C     G     D 
And put 'em down, down, down 
 
She's on her way 
G 
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up 
      D 
They drive home at 11 to smoke cigarettes and stuff 
    Am                                                         C     G     D 
The DVDs and memories, you keep them to yourself from the way down, down, down 
                         G 
They're on their way to nowhere
