[Intro]
         G                D
Well, we know where we're goin'
       C                      G
but we don't know where we've been
       G
And we know what we're knowin'
       C                    Eb  D
but we can't say what we've see-een
          G          D
And we're not little children
       C            Eb F
and we know what we wa-ant
        G         D
And the future is certain
        C               Eb D
Give us time to work it o-out

[Chorus 1]
E
    We're on a road to nowhere
C#m
    Come on inside
E
    Takin' that ride to nowhere
C#m
    We'll take that ride
A                                E
    I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
        B
and you know
A                            E
    We're on the road to paradise
        B
Here we go
        E
Here we go

[Chorus]
E
    We're on a ride to nowhere
C#m
    Come on inside
E
    Takin' that ride to nowhere
C#m
    We'll take that ride
A                              E
    Maybe you wonder where you are
            B
I don't care
A                                 E
    Here is where time is on our side
         B
Take you there
         E
Take you there

[Bridge]
          E
There's a city in my mind. Come along and take that ride
            C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
          E
And it's very far away, but it's growing day by day
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
          E
Would you like to come along. You can help me sing this song
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
         E
They can tell you what to do. But they'll make a fool of you
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
 
         E
There's a city in my mind. Come along and take that ride
            C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
          E
And it's very far away, but it's growing day by day
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
          E
Would you like to come along. You can help me sing this song
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
         E
They can tell you what to do. But they'll make a fool of you
           C#m
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
 
 
[Outro]
E
    We're on a road to nowhere
C#m
    Ha    Ha
E
    We're on a road to nowhere
C#m
    Ha    Ha
E
    We're on a road to nowhere
C#m
    Haaaaaaaaaaa
E  N.C.
      We're on a road to nowhere!
