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
T[G7]urning never learning
Bridge 1:
[Bb]Had to make a break
S[C]oon I had to wake up feeling st[F]ronger, feeling st[A]ronger
On my [Bb]island of d[Dm/A]reams[Gm] [Bbmaj7/F]
With im[Edim7]po... [A7] ssible s[Dm]chemes
(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
K[C]new I couldn't fake it any l[F]onger
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]
