Gm


[Verse 1]
Gm          Bb
When you're trying to smile
       Cm     Bb     F           Eb    Bb
And it's harder than you'll ever know
       Gm       F  Bb
Do you see anyone helping themselves
               Cm    Bb
Just think the road is more rugged
     F           Eb   Bb
Than they'd ever show


[Pre-chorus]
F        Gm             Cm
I'm just waiting for an easy ride
F                   Gm         Cm
Waiting to jump the next train out on this life


[Chorus]
Bb
It's a lonely life in a nowhere town
       F
No one knows where it is
F
Everything's falling down, no
Bb
I don't think anyone cares but you and I
    F                      Cm             Eb
And that's the wait it is, that's the way it is

[Verse 2]
Gm         F Bb
I'm frozen standing here
     Cm           Bb            F        Eb
Just watching the people on the merry-go-round
      Gm               Bb
Their eyes ablaze just laugh like you're mad
      Cm  Bb      F             Eb
Going nowhere but where you are bound


[Pre-chorus]
F              Gm              Cm
That's why I'm awaiting for an easy ride
F                   Gm         Cm
Waiting to jump the next train out on this life


[Chorus]
Bb
It's a lonely life in a nowhere town
       F
No one knows where it is
F
Everything's falling down, no
Bb
I don't think anyone cares but you and I
    F                      Cm             Eb
And that's the wait it is, that's the way it is
