Verse 1:

C
We all face the same way

Am
Still it takes all day

F/E
Take a look to my left

C
Pick out the worst and the best

C (*)
She paints her lip

Am
Greasy and thick

F/E
Another mirror stare

Dsus2 C (*)
And she's going where?



Verse 2:

(Same chords and rhythm as Verse 1)


Another office affair

To kill an unborn scare?

You talk dirty to a priest

Makes you human at least

Is she running away

To start a brand new day?

Or she going home?

Why's she driving alone?



Chorus 1:

F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

F/E Dsus2 C Am F/E C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Verse 3:

(Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1 and 2)


She got a body in the boot

Or just bags full of food?

Those are models legs

But are they womens are they mens?

She shouts down the phone

Missed a payment on the loan

She gotta be above the rest

Keeping up with the best



Chorus 2:

F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

F/E Dsus2 C Am F/E C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Bridge:

G F/E {x2}

F/E C



Verse 4:

(Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1, 2 and 3)


Waits tables for a crook?

Wrote a hard back book?

You teach kids how to read?

Or sell your body on the street?

A nurse without a job?

Another uptown snob?

But have I got you all wrong?



Chorus 3:


F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

F/E Dsus2 C
Is anyone going anywhere?

F/E Dsus2 C Am F/E C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Outro:

C Am F/E C {x4}
