Verse 1:

C7

In a Shanghai noodle factory

Place where I once used to be

G7

Nowhere doing nothing

C7

People there were made of steel

Tiny cogs in one big wheel

G7

Turning never learning

Bridge 1:

Bb

Had to make a break

C F A

Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger

Bb Dm/A Gm Bbmaj7/F

On my island of dreams

Edim7 A7 Dm

With impo... ssible schemes

(acoustic guitar w/flute and organ):

(Dm) Gm C

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

In a Shanghai noodle factory

Place where I once used to be

Nowhere doing nothing

Villages of plastic men

Packed like roosters in a pen

Crowing, never knowing

Bridge 2:

Bb

Had to make a break

C F

Knew I couldn't fake it any longer

Everything at stake

Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger

On my island of dreams

With impossible schemes

[repeat intro]

Break:

C7

In a Shanghai noodle factory - place where I once used to be

G7

Nowhere doing nothing (nowhere doing nothing)

C7

Nowhere doing nothing (nowhere doing nothing)

G7

Nowhere doing nothing (nowhere doing nothing)

C7

Nowhere doing nothing (nowhere doing nothing)

G7

Nowhere...

(instrumental solos over same chord progression):

C7 G7 [6X]
