Takes Me Nowhere

[Verse 1]
         F#5
When the day begins
        A5
All the guilt sinks in
      E5                          F#5
And I look on the wreckage of the night
         F#5
Though I try to break free
      A5
The cycle breaks me
     E5                 F#5
Am I ever gonna see the light?
        F#5
All the friends I've lost
        A5
And the pain I've caused
     E5                        F#5
Have never been enough just to make me stop
    F#5             A5
The lines I draw to look at myself
    E5           F#5
Are turning into somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]
       D5            B5
I know how this will end
        C#5          F#5
But I'm starting up again
        D5            B5
Turned around, inside out
           C#5   C#5
'Cause this   way

[Chorus]
E5       F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5
It beats me up 
E5     F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
       F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5
It beats me up 
E5 F#5     F#5
      Open on this scene

[Verse 2]
    A5
A familiar dream
       E5                        F#5
Of you telling me what I already know
           F#5
Though the truth seems near
          A5
You can't get there from here
        E5                           F#5
But you sure know where you're gonna go 
       F#5
As the rumor wind blows
   A5
My infamy grows
       E5
Seeing friends above
      F#5
And I hit another low
    F#5                A5
The picture I paint to look at myself
   E5           F#5
Is turning into somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]
       D5            B5
I know how this will end
        C#5          F#5
But I'm starting up again
        D5            B5
Turned around, inside out
           C#5   C#5
'Cause this   way

[Chorus]
E5       F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5
It beats me up 
E5     F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
       F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5 E5
It beats me up

[Pre-Chorus]
F#5      D5        B5
   But today, if I change
         C#5            F#5
And stop digging my own grave
       D5              B5
I will try, set things right
           C#5   C#5
'Cause this   way

[Chorus]
E5       F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5 E5
Takes me nowhere‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5
It beats me up 
E5     F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
       F#5        A5 D5 E5
When I go there‚
         F#5       A5 D5
Takes me nowhere‚
E5          C#5 E5 F#5
It beats me up
