Riff 1
There`s no fortune to be made here,
It`s just a town like any other town.
Sure there must be good things left to say
Can`t think of one, so...
I won`t say,
nothing...
Wears a pretty face and armor
She got shine at the surface and coal below,
nothing...
Please don`t tell me,
I already know,
E/D
...nothing
Living like a mobile spinnig off its line
Phillip always said about the wheels-within-wheels
Tension rising higher, it`s coming through my window
And all I seem to feel...
is nothing...
Please don`t tell me, I already know
nothing...
Oh, it`s getting better now
But time will show
Riff 2
Nothing - never goes away
Nothing - never goes away
Riff 1
Tonight I saw her again
A blood red luna (looner?) sitting on the bridge
It could have been a sign but I don`t believe in signs,
I... don`t believe in...
Nothing...
Please don`t tell me, I already know
...nothing
Oh, it`s getting easier
But time will show
...nothing
She`s got a brand new set of reasons
Why she can`t let it go
Nothing
Please, don`t tell me, I already know,
E/D
...nothing
