Once divided, nothing left to subtract
F Dm C Dm Bb5
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
F Dm C Dm Bb5
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
F Dm C Dm Bb5 Dm
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
Bb5 C Bb5 A5 Bb5 C
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go
[Chorus]
F Bb5 C
Nothingman, nothingman
F Bb5 C
Isn't it something? Nothingman

F Dm C Dm Bb5
She once believed in every story he had to tell
F Dm C Dm Bb5
One day she stiffened, took the other side
F Dm C Dm Bb5
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
F Dm C Dm Bb5 Dm
One just escapes, one's left inside the well
Bb5 C Bb5 A5 Bb5 C
And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh
[Chorus]
F Bb5 C
Nothingman, nothingman
F Bb5 C
Isn't it something? Nothingman

Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun
C
Burn, burn, burn burn
[Chorus]
F Bb5 C
Nothingman, nothingman
F Bb5 C
Isn't it something? Nothingman
F Bb5 C
Nothingman, nothingman
F Bb5 C
Coulda been something, nothingman
