Chords
Personally I use barre chords for everything except the chorus and just pick the octaves
(high then low) in the intro and early verses. Note the variation in the final chorus.
[Intro]
G B C Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
G B C Am Someone hung a decorative surfboard up G B C Am Where your records and movies belong G B C Am This light makes it nearly impossible Em B C Am To see if they fixed all the cracks in the wall
[Chorus]
G Em Staring out the window at your old apartment Am D Imagining the old you stumbling through G Em Tacky renovations that the landlord wanted Am D To cash in on the boom G C Cm And you don't know where to go now G C Cm You've got nowhere to go now
[Verse 2]
G B C Am I wish you'd come down and meet me here G B C Am I'm gridlocked, I'm not going anywhere G B C Am I've had a bad year
[Chorus]
G Em Staring out the window at your old apartment Am D Imagining the old you stumbling through G Em Tacky renovations that the landlord wanted Am D To cash in on the boom
[Post-Chorus]
(I mix this up a bit with some picking and palm muting to crescendo)
G C Cm And you don't know where to go now G C Cm You've got nowhere to go now G C F You don't know where to go now G C F You've got nowhere to go now
[Bridge]
Em B/D# C Am The city don't care if you live or you die Em B/D# C Am It's just gonna grow and it doesn't care why Em B/D# C Am You're tired of kicking and fighting through life Em B/D# C Am And left me alone on this cold winter night just
[Chorus]
(variation)
G Em Staring out the window at your old apartment Am D Imagining the old you stumbling through B Em Tacky renovations that the landlord wanted Am D To cash in on the boom
[Post-Chorus]
G B C Am And you don't know where to go now G B C Am You've got nowhere to go now G B C F You've got nowhere to go now G B C F You don't know where to go now
