Bb             Dm            Gm
He waved hello silent like a mime

Meaning there's no changing my mind

I won't walk the stairs with you tonight

Going nowhere

The clock moved a quarter of a turn

Bb              Dm              Gm
The time it took a cigarette to burn

I missed you a lot

Return to this abandoned place

Should a been forgot

Echoes drown the conversation out

Bb              Dm             Gm
Echoes that only seem to bring about

A silent expression

Dm             Gm
Things you may allow
[Chorus]

Going nowhere

Bb                  Dm
The steps made a pattern

I'd never seen

I was off in some empty day dream
[Chorus]

It's dead and gone matter of fact

And maybe for the best

F         C         Eb          Bb  Cm
Said some things you can't take back

Gm         F    Eb
Honestly I guess

The old records

Dm             Gm
Sitting on the floor

Bb
The ones I can't

Dm        Gm
Put on anymore

Bb            Dm           Gm
He walked over to her like before
[Outro]
