Intro:       

            
There is no place for me

    
And no one to set me free

                  
There is no way to go

	    
There is no place for me

           
Where it's warm, where I can be

				  
At least there is no place that I know


                                                   
Sometimes it's hard to see that you're running out of luck

                                  
Right now it's my own life I don't know


                               
With everything I did I was the one who laughed

                        
Yes I was always tall and smiled

                                    
Yes everything I did I thought would always last

                       
And I felt always strong inside

               
Now there's no place for me

    
And no one to set me free

                  
There is no way to go

            
There is no place for me

           
Where it's warm, where I can be

                                 
At least there is no place that I know

                                                   
But I'm fine, I'm alright even though there's nothing left

                                
'Cos what it means I'm sure will show

                                  
Somewhere along the way I lost the key for it

                    
But I was always true inside

                                   
Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit

                      
Of what was always open wide


                              
When I look around there's only broken glass I see

                                   
And everywhere I reach it's hurting me

                                
Looking back I find there was not much how it should be

     
It's slowly killing me!

         
I got to go, kick all dust off my shoes

                                       
Take all that's good inside and turn it 'round


                                   
'Cos with everything I did I was the one who laughed

                        
Yes I was always tall and smiled

                                  
Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit

                      
Of what was always open wide

Ok, I've worked this out for acoustic guitar and it works quite well with recording and for you
to play it by yourself.  The key change near the end makes things a bit difficult.  It's a bit
tough finding an octave for the A# so I've just left the same one in there.  You may want to play
just the high strings the second time maybe.  Other than that it's pretty straight forward.
It's a brilliant song and I hope you enjoy the transcription.  Vic
