[Abm]
[Eb] [Abm]
[Eb] Considering [D] so many folks dissatisfied [Eb] with everything
[C] Who need someone to [F] understand they're lonely
[Bb] They're lonely [Eb] and they're not alone
And everywhere they [D] shrug their shoulders
[D] Tell themselves [Eb] that they don't care
[C] And all the while they make [F] believe they're happy
[Bb] Oh they're happy [Eb] but not really
[Abm]
[Eb] And they're asked to hold the [G] world together
[Ab]
[A] Give it children [Eb] who in turn are
[Bb] Turning on to [Eb] going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever [G] need to have
[Ab] Has been wasted, [A] remains hidden
In the [Eb] confusion [Bb]
of [Eb] going nowhere
And who am I [D] to criticize the world [Eb] that I have grown up in
[C] Most of you would tell me [F] that I'm crazy
[Bb] Yes I'm crazy, [Bb] [Eb] I can't help it
I understand [D] that where you are is where you've [Eb] been so many [C] years
And things that tend to change you tend [F] to hurt you
[Bb] Yes they hurt you [Eb] very deeply
And still you try to [G] hold the world together
[Ab]
[A] Give it children [Eb] who in turn are
[F] Turning on [Bb] to [Eb] going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever [G] need to have
[Ab] Has been wasted, [Am] remains hidden
[Eb] In the confusion [Bb]
of [Cm] going [Abm]
[Eb] nowhere
[Abm] Going, [Eb] going, going nowhere
[Abm]
Going [Eb] nowhere
