Nobody Knows Tab

by Billy Squier


Here is ballad off the Don’t Say No album – Billy says this song was written about John
Lennon… GREAT chord changes - shows what a great writer Billy is.... FWIW, I used to
bump into him all the time at the China Club in NYC and he was always cool to me!
Hope you enjoy this.


Nobody Knows...

                        
I may get around...I may laugh alot...
                                         
Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
                    
Nobody knows...nobody sees
                                        
Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...

                             
I may seem secure...I could have it made...
                                      
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
                         
Nobody knows what dreams I see
                                                        
Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...

                  
But everybody has a place and time...
                 
A chance to live...a need to find
                           
We all got somethin' that we care about
               
I propose you find it out...

                         
It's not in a book...or a magazine...
                                         
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
                        
Nobody knows...it's up to me
                                         
Ain't nobody who can say it like it ought to be...

I see my future at the rainbow's end
            
Happy hours...timeless friends
                      
And if I ever chance to find my way
                
Rest assured...I will stay...

                          
You may see your life as a compromise
                                       
You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
                           
Nobody knows...it's meant to be...
                                   
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
