Chords and lyrics for We Are Nowhere and It's Now by Bright Eyes (key of G).
Verse 1
If you [G]hate the [Bm]taste of [Em][D]wine, why do you [G]drink it [Bm]till you're [Em][D]blind
And if you[G] swear [Bm]that there's [C]no truth and who cares, [D]how come you say [Em]it
like you're [D]right
[G]Why are you [Bm]scared to dream of [Em][D]God, when it's [G]salvation [Bm]that you [Em][D]want
You see, [G]stars that [Bm]clear have been [C]dead for [D]years, but the [Em]idea just lives
[D]on
In our [G]wheels that [Bm]roll [Em][D]around, as we [G]move [Bm]over the [Em][D]ground
and all [G]day it [Bm]seems we've been [C]in [D]between, a [Em]past and future [D]town
We are [Em]nowhere and it's [D]now
We are [Em]nowhere and it's [D]now
In like a [C]ten minute dream in the [D]passenger seat
While the [G]world was [D]flying [Em]by
I haven't been [D]gone very long but it feels like a lifetime
G - Em x4, then D
[Am]I been sleeping so [D]strange at night
[Am]Side effects they don't [D]advertise
[Am]I been sleeping so [D]strange
[Am]With a head full of [D]pesticide
G - Bm - Em - D x2
[G]I got no plans [Bm]and too much [Em][D]time, I feel too[G] restless [Bm]to [Em][D]unwind
I'm always[G] lost in [Bm]thought as I[C] walk the block[D] to my [Em]favorite [D]neon-sign
[G]Where the [Bm]waitress looks [Em][D]concerned, but she [G]never [Bm]says a [Em][D]word
Just turns [G]the jukebox [Bm]on and we [C]hum [D]along and I [Em]smile back at [D]her
[G]And my friend [Bm]comes after [Em]work,[D] when the [G]features [Bm]start to [Em][D]blur
She says: [G]"These bars are [Bm]filled with [C]things that [D]kill, by now you [Em]probably
should have [D]learned"
Did you forget that yellow bird? How could you forget that yellow bird
And she took a small silver wreath and pinned it on to me, she said
this one will bring you luck
And I don't know if it's true, but I keep it for good luck
Finish with: G - Em
