[Verse 1]
Am
Hey mama, when you leave
Am
Don't leave a thing behind
F Am
I don't want nothin'
Em Am
I can't use nothin'
[Verse 2]
Am
Take care into the hall
Am
And if you see my friends
F Am
Tell them I'm fine
Em Am
Not using nothin'
[Verse 3]
Am
Almost burned out my eyes
Am
And threw my ears down to the floor
F Am
I didn't see nothing
Em Am
I didn't hear nothing
[Verse 4]
Am
I stood there like a block of stone
Am
Knowing all I had to know
F Am
And nothin' more
Em Am
Man, that's nothin'

[Verse 5]
Am
As brothers our troubles are
Am
Locked in each others arms
F Am
And you better pray
Em Am
That they never find you
[Verse 6]
Am
'Cause your back ain't strong enough
Am
For burdens doublefold
F Am
They'd crush you down
Em Am
Down into nothin'
[Verse 7]
Am
Being born is going blind
Am
And bowing down a thousand times
F Am
To echoes strung
Em Am
On pure temptation
[Verse 8]
Am
Sorrow and solitude
Am
These are the precious things
F Am
And the only words
Em Am
That are worth rememberin'
