Intro: GCDG
G There is no place for me
C And no one to set me free
AD There is no way to go
G There is no place for me
C Where it's warm, where I can be
AD At least there is no place that I know
CDCG Sometimes it's hard to see that you're running out of luck
AD Right now it's my own life I don't know
FC With everything I did I was the one who laughed
A#F2 Yes I was always tall and smiled
FC Yes everything I did I thought would always last
A#F2 And I felt always strong inside
G Now there's no place for me
C And no one to set me free
AD There is no way to go
G There is no place for me
C Where it's warm, where I can be
AD At least there is no place that I know
CDCG But I'm fine, I'm alright even though there's nothing left
AD 'Cos what it means I'm sure will show
FC Somewhere along the way I lost the key for it
A#F2 But I was always true inside
FC Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit
A#F2 Of what was always open wide
A#F2 When I look around there's only broken glass I see
CA# And everywhere I reach it's hurting me
A#F2 Looking back I find there was not much how it should be
C It's slowly killing me!
D# I got to go, kick all dust off my shoes
CA# Take all that's good inside and turn it 'round
A#F2 'Cos with everything I did I was the one who laughed
D#A# Yes I was always tall and smiled
A#F2 Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit
D#A# Of what was always open wide
Ok, I've worked this out for acoustic guitar and it works quite well with recording and for you to play it by yourself. The key change near the end makes things a bit difficult. It's a bit tough finding an octave for the A# so I've just left the same one in there. You may want to play just the high strings the second time maybe. Other than that it's pretty straight forward. It's a brilliant song and I hope you enjoy the transcription. Vic
