going nowhere, going nowhere,   
Em                          G   
And their tears are filling up their glasses,   
D              A                      
no expression, no expression,   
Em                      G   
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,   
D            A  
no tomorrow, no tomorrow,

The dreams in which I'm dying   
                       Em

cause I find it hard to take,   
                   A   
when people run in circles,  
                          Em

Em                     G  
Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson,  
D                     A   
look right through me, look right through me
