[Verse 1]
            D/F#                                          A*         G*
When you're just a stone's throw from where you started and you're going nowhere

     D/F#                              A*         G*
When everything you had that was solid has melted into air

         D/F#                                 A*             G*
When you worked your fingers down to the bone but didn't get your fair share
[Chorus 1] - Open strum
        A
I'll be there

              G
In there like swimwear
RIFF 1 x2 I'm going nowhere [Verse 2]
         D/F#                                       A*             G*
When you feel like you're letting down your friends and you failed your family

              D/F#                                 A*              G*
When you're a hedgehog who can't help pricking all the people that you meet

         D/F#                                   A*           G*
When the ravens leave the tower and you're cowering for fear in the city
[Chorus 2] - Open strum
        A
I'll be there

              G
In there like swimwear
RIFF 1 x2 I'm going nowhere
    G*                        Gm                        D/F#         E7
The empires may fall, and the seas may rise but I'll be at your side by and by

            G            Asus4  A
I'm like an armchair
RIFF 1 x2 I'm going nowhere [Verse 3]
         D/F#                           A*            G*
When you took your umbrella in the rain but you still got soaked

         D/F#                  A*            G*
When you worked a 62-hour week but you ended up broke

             D/F#                              A*         G*
And when the world that you thought made sense turned out to be a joke
[Chorus 1]
        A
I'll be there

              G
In there like swimwear
RIFF 1 x2 I'm going nowhere [Verse 4]
         D/F#                             A*          G*
When you made your best plans but somehow they just didn't work

                D/F#                                  A*       G*
'Cause you were counting on your countrymen and women not to go berserk

        D/F#                                    A*          G*
And the future's falling in and all that's left is a hollow kind of hurt
[Chorus 2]
        A
I'll be there

              Gmaj7
In there like swimwear
RIFF x2 I'm going nowhere [Post-Chorus]
G*                      Gm                   D/F#                  E7
You think my beauty may slip away, but I can try to make you happy every day

              G             Asus4  A
I'm like your gray hair
RIFF x2 I'm going nowhere [Outro] - Single strum
        G*                      Gm                         D/F#                      E7 (open strum again)
Now the tune may falter and the words may slide but here's hoping that the sentiment survives

                     G
I'm like your record player

            Asus4  A
I'm like an armchair
RIFF x4 I'm going nowhere End on D/F#
