It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning when the sun they said
would never set,
B
it finally set again.
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m
Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first lead you to the stairwell which leads only forever to
kingdoms to come?

Rushed alone by guiding hands, whispers of the promised land
D B
They wished you luck and handed you a gun
[Chorus]

Life could be so handsome

We're going nowhere

But nowhere, nowhere is on our way

In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite
G#m
Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs

karaoke turn and murdered our best song

Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life, she turned away in tears called
you a liar
A C#m
Where are all your dreams now? The battalions, once so proud,

Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbed-wire
[Chorus]

Well life could be so handsome
C E
It's all going to be okay
C E
We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way

Nowhere in the institutions, did they teach that revolution?

Something that could ever come to pass

All we tried once before was the king's head on the floor
D B
And we got booted out the boozer cause someone smashed the glass
[Chorus]

Life could be so handsome

Life could be okay

We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
C E
Life could be so handsome
C E
It's all gonna be okay
C E
We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
