......TRANSITION TO "NOTHINGMAN"
"NOTHINGMAN" Cadd9/G : 332010 Am11 : x02010
Gadd4    : 320010
Fsus2add6: 133010 (That's a mouthful... I'll just call it Fsus2)
[Intro] Cadd9/G Am11 Gadd4 Am11 Fsus2 Cadd9/G Am11 Gadd4 Am11 Fsus2 [Verse]
Cadd9/G     Am11 Gadd4        Am11  Fsus2
Once divided,    nothing left to subtract

Cadd9/G               Am11 Gadd4    Am11  Fsus2
Some words when spoken     can't be taken back

Cadd9/G          Am11  Gadd4       Am11       Fsus2
Walks on his own  with thoughts he can't help thinking

Cadd9/G       Am11           Gadd4     Am11     Fsus2
Future's above,   but in the past he's slow and sinking

Fsus2                                 Gadd4           Am11 Fsus2
Caught a bolt of lightning, wish he'd never let it go
[Chorus]
Cadd9/G   Am11 Gadd4
Nothingman,    nothingman

Cadd9/G              Fsus2 Gadd4
Isn't it something?  Nothingman
[Verse]
Cadd9/G          Am11        Gadd4    Am11   Fsus2
She once believed   in every story he had to tell

Cadd9/G             Am11    Gadd4    Am11  Fsus2
One day she stiffened   and took the other side

Cadd9/G     Am11          Gadd4       Am11   Fsus2
Empty stares    from each corner of a prison cell

Cadd9/G         Am11     Gadd4     Am11   Fsus2
One just escapes,    one stays inside the well

Cadd9/G                     Gadd4
And he who forgets  will be destined to remember
[Chorus]
Cadd9/G   Am11 Gadd4
Nothingman,    nothingman

Cadd9/G              Fsus2 Gadd4
Isn't it something?  Nothingman

Cadd9/G   Am11 Gadd4
Nothingman,    nothingman

Cadd9/G              Fsus2 Gadd4
Isn't it something?  Nothingman
[Outro] Cadd9/G Am11 Gadd4 Am11 Fsus2 Cadd9/G Am11 Gadd4 Am11 Fsus2
