This Is Nowhere

G We all sit on the curb and we stare at the rain Em In our boots, the cars, the clouds, the sky G While Ishmael wraps himself in his sheet again Em He'll clench his fists and close his eyes G I don't know how many times I can loan him my cigarettes Em C When I don't even know if he's alive Cm G Do prophets lie? C Cm G It makes me feel less horrified (Riff 2) 8x or just play G Em G And my closet's filled with all these endless accoutrements Em These shoes, these scarves, these shirts, these ties G And these things I say to make myself feel good again Em "I'll speak, I'll write, I'll laugh, I'll lie" G I can't bear to sit here and drink myself sick again Em Another night C Cm G When everything I know was just a lie C Cm G And I don't even know where I'll sleep tonight (Riff 2) 8x or just play G Em (Riff 1) 2x (Riff 3) G I got nothing to do but stare at these walls Em And take some time to screw my head on right G We all ended up alone, wasted here in Silver Lake Em We'll work, we'll think, we'll change, we'll try G I can't make any sense of this or you or anything Em C I'm wide awake, and all our parents lied Cm G C It's not all right, when all our words collide Cm G Awake all night
