Verse 1
If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good boy, am I your pride and joy
Fm9 | Dbmaj7 | Eb Eb | Eb Eb |
Mother please if your pleased say I am
Verse 2
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
Fm9 | Ab Eb |
Never again will I make that mistake
Bridge
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get from say winning a bet
| F F | Db7 | Eb Eb | Eb Eb |
Is to lose
Verse 3
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death
| Db | Eb Eb | Eb Eb |
Right in front of my eyes
Chorus 1
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say, nothing why 'cos today
| Eb Eb | Eb Eb |
Nothing rhymed

Bridge
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get from say winning a bet

Is to lose
Chorus 2
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say, nothing why 'cos today
(Eb)
Nothing rhymed
