         Dm
From the bright busy streets of
the Charing Cross Road
        C                    F
To the dark little alleys in old Soho
          Dm
From the smart noisy clubs where everyone goes
        C                        F
To the dark little streets that nobody knows

Asus4   A7       Dm     A#
Nobody notices, nobody misses me
 F                 C       G
Nobody knows if I really exist
      Asus4     A7            Dm       A#
I'm a-nobody's shelter, I'm a-nobody's cover
       F                  C         G
I'm a-nobody's lover and nobody's friend

Chorus:
            A7    Dm      A#
So used to lying, and pretending
     F                     C         G
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend

I can go for a walk on a crowded street
And see millions of faces staring at me
Some of them smiling, some of them glare
But most of them don't even know that I'm there

That's how I want to be 'cause no one belongs to me
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
Nobody pleads for me, nobody bleeds for me
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend

Chorus
