Misc Originals – Beau Jones - Nowhere Elevator (Guitar)

Bm
Woke up in a life i don’t recall

G
Same old ceiling different walls

D
Everyone’s moving like they’ve got a plan

A
But I’m just spinning don’t know where I stand

Bm
I saw my path, I saw the signs

G
I tried pretending your path was mine

D
The mirror reflects what I’ve been scared of

A
A face I wear but I never loved

G
I’m riding a nowhere elevator

Bm
No path, No Signs, just some closed old doors

D
Caught between these dreams I had

A
And the need to just appease you dad

G
Every floor looks like the last

Bm
Every light just fades too fast

D
No voice of mine, just quiet labor

A
Laying here in this elevator

Bm
You taught me to walk in between the lines

G
To keep my head down and not ask why

D
I dimmed my spark to dodge the fight

A
Not being true, just being polite

Bm
You clapped for grades, not for songs

G
I bit my tongue to play along

D
But every “good job” just felt like debt

A
And yet I’m still paying you some rent

G
I’m riding a nowhere elevator

Bm
No path, No Signs, just some closed old doors

D
Caught between these dreams I had

A
And the need to just appease you dad

G
Every floor looks like the last

Bm
Every light just fades too fast

D
No voice of mine, just quiet labor

A
Laying here in this elevator

G
I don’t know the sound of my voice

D
Only echoes shaped by someone else’s choice

Bm
If I ever find a way to start

A
I won’t be shaped to play a part

G
Still riding this nowhere elevator

Bm
No path, no plan, just a slow spectator

D
Caught between the dreams I had

A
And the need to just appease you, Dad

G
But the voice I buried starts to scream

Bm
Not at you - just what your silence means

D
I may not know when I’ll depart

A
But I won’t pretend to know your heart
