Title: Nothingman
This is how Stone plays it live with a capo on the 5th fret
[Intro]
C Am G Am F (x2)
[Verse]
C Am G Am F
Once divided, nothing left to subtract
C Am G Am F
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
C Am G Am F
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
C Am G Am F Am (barred, 10th fret)
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
F G F Am F G
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go
[Chorus]
C F G
Nothingman, nothingman
C F G
Isn't it something? Nothingman
[2nd Verse:]
C Am G Am F
She once believed in every story he had to tell
C Am G Am F
One day she stiffened, took the other side
C Am G Am F
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
C Am G Am F Am (barred, 10th fret)
One just escapes, one's left inside the well
F G F Am F G
And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
C F G
Nothingman, nothingman
C F G
Isn't it something? Nothingman
[Bridge] (All played as bar chords)
Am F G
Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him)
F Am F G Am (barred, 10th fret)
Oh, she won't feed him, after he's flown away
F G F G F
Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun
F G
Burn, burn, burn burn
[Chorus]
C F G
Nothingman, nothingman
C F G
Isn't it something? Nothingman
C F G
Nothingman, nothingman
C F G
Coulda been something, nothingman
[Outro]
C F C (x3)
