Intro: | E | E C# | B C# | A | (2 times)

E            C#   B            C#    A
Once divided, and nothing left to subtract.
E                   C# B        C#    A
Some words when spoken can't be taken back.
E               C#    B           C#         A
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking.
E             C#           B         C#       A       C#
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking.

A                           B           A              G# A    B
Caught a bolt of lightening, cursed the day he let it go.
E         A B           E                   A      B
Nothingman, nothingman, isn't it something, nothingman.

E                C#        B        C#     A
She once believed in every story he had to tell.
E                  C#  B        C#    A
One day she stiffened, took the other side.
E           C#         B           C#           A
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell.
E               C#      B      C#       A       C#
One just escapes, one's left inside the well.

A             B        A                 G# A    B
He who forgets will be destined to remember.
E         A B           E                   A      B
Nothingman, nothingman, isn't it something, nothingman.

C#             A       B               A      C#           A      B
 Oh, she don't want him. Oh, she won't feed him after he's flown away.
    A                       G# A                  B
Oh, into the sun, into the sun, burn, burn, burn, burn.

E         A B           E                   A      B
Nothingman, nothingman, isn't it something, nothingman.
E         A B           E                          A      B
Nothingman, nothingman, could have been something, nothingman.
