JUST THE OTHER SIDE OF NOWHERE
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

VERSE 1:
            C              C/B       Am    Am/G     F        F/E      Dm
I come from just the other side of nowhere, to this big time lonesome town.
        G                                       F                       C     (G7)
They've got a lot of ice and snow here, half as cold as the people I've found.
C           C/B    Am      Am/G        F                   F/E      Dm
Every way I try to go here, seems like someone's trying to bring me down.
     G                                       C     (C7)
I've seen about enough to know where I'll be bound.

CHORUS:
           F                           G               F
I've got a mind to see the headlights, shining on that old white;
C               C/B       Am   Am/G
Line between my heart and home.
F                         G
Sick of spending Sundays, wishing they were Mondays;
C                    C7
Sitting in the park alone.
            F                    G               F
But give my best to anyone who's left who's ever done me;
C          C/B     Am    Am/G
Any loving way but wrong.
    F                           Dm
And tell 'em that the pride, of just the other side;
   G               C    (G7)
Of nowhere's going home.


VERSE 2:
C              C/B     Am         Am/G       F         F/E    Dm
Taking nothing back to show there, for these dues that I have paid.
        G                                    F                      C   (G7)
But the soul I've almost sold there, and the body I've been giving away.
C               C/B  Am         Am/G        F              F/E      Dm
Fading from the neon night-time glow there, headed for the light of day.
G                                    C
Just the other side of nowhere going home.
CHORUS:
Hum verse, chorus, last line.
