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

In [Eb] the confusion [Bb] [Cm] of going [Abm] nowhere
[Eb] Going nowhere
[Abm] Going, [Eb] going, going nowhere [Abm] [Eb] Going nowhere
[Eb] [Abm]
