Tom: C

[Intro] F  Dm  C  Dm  Bb
        F  Dm  C  Dm  Bb

F            Dm 
Once divided
 C            Dm     Bb
Nothing left to subtract
 F                     Dm 
Some words when spoken
 C        Dm    Bb
Can't be taken back
 F               Dm 
Walks on his own
       C          Dm          Bb
With thoughts he can't help thinking
 F             Dm 
Future's above
            C          Dm      Bb     Dm
But in the past he's slow and sinking
 Bb                        C
Caught a bolt of lightning
            Bb              Dm  Bb  C
Cursed the day he let it go

 F         Bb  C
Nothingman,   nothingman
F                    Bb     C
Isn't it something? Nothingman

  F               Dm 
She once believed  
           C       Dm     Bb
In every story he had to tell
F                     Dm 
One day she stiffened   
 C       Dm     Bb
Took the other side
F            Dm 
Empty stares
           C            Dm       Bb
From each corner of a shared prison cell
F                Dm 
One just escapes   
       C      Dm       Bb  Dm
One's left inside the well
     Bb            C
And he who forgets
         Bb                 Dm  Bb  C
Will be destined to remember

 F         Bb  C
Nothingman,   nothingman
F                    Bb     C
Isn't it something? Nothingman

Dm             Bb     C
Oh, she don't want him
               Bb      Dm
Oh, she won't feed him 
             Bb    C  Dm
After he's flown away
    Bb            
Oh, into the sun
                  C  Bb
Yeah into the sun
                   C
Burn, burn, burn, burn

 F         Bb  C
Nothingman,   nothingman
F                    Bb     C
Isn't it something? Nothingman
 F         Bb  C
Nothingman,   nothingman
 F                     Bb     C
Coulda been something,nothingman
