G
I got nothing

           F        G           F
There's no sense in looking back

G                                 F
All my yesterdays went up in flames

G
Now I'm gonna

F                  G      F
Just forget what's in the past

G
I don't even recognize their names
[Pre-Chorus]
C                        D
Two undiscarded lives, a simple proposition

C                 Am  D
Everyday a little pain

C                          D
Survival's up to me, since every time I

C                      Am
Open my eyes the world remains
[Chorus]

I got nothing (Got nothing)

G
Too bad (Too bad)

No false dreaming, I practically just won
[Verse 2]
G
Looking out their

G
Windows from their easy chairs

G
I can see they think they got it beat

G
They just see a

G
Drifter in some worn out clothes

G
Not someone who'd taste so good to meet
[Pre-Chorus]
C                             D
I'm more ashamed of them than what I'm wearing

C                        Am      Dm C
Not reaching past the window ledge

                            D
There's a view of life that we're not sharing

C                             Am
'Cause they won't walk out to the edge
[Chorus]
D     G
I got nothing (Got nothing)

They want (They want)
