Nowhere Fast

E I've crossed this road before C#m For many years, I'm sure A Don't recognize the faces, though B That pass me by, I've been E Off and on my way again C#m Passed Marsh Road, Atherton A Black Mountain Way and B Bored stale houses on the yellowed plains A E I'm going off again, and B C#m For no good reason year by year A I've achieved some feeling B That this time I leave is nowhere fast E I've seen the lot of them C#m From queens to journeymen A Bigots and confidantes B I've spoken to and laughed with E Destructive catalysts C#m Professionals and loyalists A Punk rock pop nihilists B Have grown up amongst suburban architects A E And I'm going off again, and B C#m For no good reason year by year A I've achieved some feeling B That this time I leave is nowhere fast A E B And who can say it was all deceiving? A E B Or that anybody was mislead? A E B I'm not the one to be judging A E B I may not even be who I think I am E C#m A B 2x E The asphalt is my burning bed C#m Has left me invalid A Puts me to sleep at night B In the arms of some strange no man's land E I'll be back by the west C#m I need the fucking rest A But in the meantime these B E Broken roads and homes will ring in my head
