[Intro]
C* Am7 Fmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
C* Am7
We all face the same way, Still it takes all day.
Fmaj7 C
I take a look to my left, Pick out the worst and the best.
C* Am7
She paints her lip, greasy and thick.
Fmaj7 Dm C
Another mirror stare. And she's going where?
[Verse 2]
C* Am7
Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare.
Fmaj7 C
Talk dirty to the priest, it makes them human at least.
C* Am7
Is she running away, to start a brand new day?
Fmaj7 Dm C
Or she's going home, why's she driving alone?
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Dm C
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dm C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
C* Am7 Fmaj7 C
[Verse 3]
C* Am
She's got a body in the boot?, Or just bags of food?
Fmaj7 C
Those are models legs?, But are they womens? Are they mens?
C* Am7
She shouts down the phone, she missed a payment on the loan
Fmaj7 Dm C
She's go to be above the rest, keeping up with the best
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Dm C
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dm C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
C* Am7 Fmaj7 C

C* Fmaj7
She waits tables for a crook? You wrote a hardback book?
Am Fmaj7
You teach kids how to read? Sell your body on the street?
C* Am7
A nurse without a job? Another uptown snob?
Fmaj7 Dm C
But have I got you all wrong, one look and you were gone
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Dm C Fmaj7 Dm C
Is anyone going anywhere? Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dm C Fmaj7 Dm
Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere
