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]
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
