[Verse]
 
Em7  A7  C            G             Em7 A7        C      G
It   was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
      Em7          A7              C           G        Em7        A7       C    G
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.
 
(base comes in , same chord sequence)
Em7      A7            C        G
   And I knew I'd made horrible call,
   Em7          A7                   C      G
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
          Em7    A7                C          G
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm.....

[Chorus]
 
C         G                   D
Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
 
 
[Bass fill]
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em7      A7       C          G
       I braved treacherous streets,
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
 
Em7      A7        C        G
Cause at night the sun in retreat,
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
(same as other Pre-chorus, but 2-2 instead of 3-4 on second part)
 
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G                   D
Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
 
 
[Verse]
(padding)
 
A7            B7
I'm a war, of head versus heart,
          Em7        A7
And it's always this way.
   A7               B7
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Em7                       C     G    D
Before I know what it will say.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G                   D
Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
