Intro

| C | C Am | G Am | F | (x2)

Verse 1

Once divided, nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
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
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go   

Chorus

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman

Verse 2

She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened, took the other side
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
And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh oh

Chorus

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman
[Bridge] (All played as bar chords)
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
Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun 
Burn, burn, burn burn

Chorus

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman
Nothingman, nothingman
Coulda been something, nothingman
