[Verse 1]
  Am
    Hey mama, when you leave

  Am
    Don't leave a thing behind

  F                Am
      I don't want    nothin'

  Em              Am
      I can't use nothin'
[Verse 2]
  Am
      Take care into the hall

  Am
      And if you see my friends

  F               Am
      Tell them I'm   fine

  Em            Am
      Not using nothin'
[Verse 3]
  Am
      Almost burned out my eyes

  Am
      And threw my ears down to the floor

  F               Am
     I didn't see    nothing

  Em               Am
     I didn't hear nothing
[Verse 4]
  Am
     I stood there like a block of stone

  Am
     Knowing all I had to know

  F              Am
     And nothin'    more

  Em             Am
     Man, that's nothin'

[Verse 5]
  Am
     As brothers our troubles are

  Am
     Locked in each others arms

  F                 Am
     And you better   pray

  Em                 Am
     That they never find you
[Verse 6]
  Am
      'Cause your back ain't strong enough

  Am
      For burdens doublefold

  F                    Am
      They'd crush you  down

  Em            Am
      Down into nothin'
[Verse 7]
  Am
      Being born is going blind

  Am
      And bowing down a thousand times

  F             Am
      To echoes   strung

  Em               Am
      On pure temptation
[Verse 8]
  Am
      Sorrow and solitude

  Am
      These are the precious things

  F                Am
      And the only   words

  Em                 Am
      That are worth rememberin'
[Outro]
   Am                           Am
