A
I'm tired out, and my head is aching
                                     D
I wanna shout, but I feel I'm going nowhere
                        A     E
Yeah, I feel I'm going nowhere
A
I run about in a fit of madness
                                     D
To work it out in the hope of going somewhere
                        A        E
Yeah, I hope I'm going somewhere

                      F#m
And I know it must be time
                  D
for making up my mind
                     F#m
Doesn't matter if I find
                         D
It'll change my tune in time
        E            A      E
If I'm really going nowhere

I'm better now, I've thought about it
Can't figure out, but I'm looking for it somewhere
All I know is that it's somewhere
It's closer now than I've ever had it
Much closer now, so I must be getting somewhere
Yeah, I hope I'm getting somewhere

'Cos you never know,
in time with the changing of my mind
I could turn around and say
that was just another day
Am I really goin' nowhere?

I've run about in a fit of madness
To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere
Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere
'Cos you never know,
in time with the changing of my mind
I could turn around and
say that was just another day
Am I really goin' nowhere?
