Sweet Nothing

Florence + The Machine


Tom: B

E             B              Abm            F#
You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
E             B           Abm             F#
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
E            B             Abm                F#
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
E          B         Abm    F#
There is a hollow in me now

E                  B
So I put my faith in something unknown
Abm              F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E                      B
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
Abm             F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E
And it's hard to learn
B
And it's hard to love
Abm                   F#
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
E               B
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
Abm              F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

( E   B   Abm   F# )

E       B        Abm          F#
It isn't easy for me to let it go
  E
Cause
         B       Abm         F#
I've swallowed every single word
 E
And
        B            Abm
Every whisper, every sigh
       F#                    E
Eats away at this heart of mine
                 B           Abm      F#
And there is a hollow in me now

E                  B
So I put my faith in something unknown
Abm              F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E                      B
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
Abm             F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E
And it's hard to learn
B
And it's hard to love
Abm                   F#
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
E               B
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
Abm              F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

( E   B   Abm   F# )

E               B
And it's not enough
     Abm             F#
To tell me that you care
E              B        Abm           F#
When, we both know the words are empty air
               E   B   Abm   F#
You give me nothi-------------ng
E   B   Abm   F#
Nothi---------ng
