(verse)
Em Bm C Am9 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Everyday there's someone asking, what is there to do?
Em Bm C Am9 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Should I love or should I fight, is it all the same to you?
Em Bm C Am9 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
No I say I have an answer, proven to be true
G A9 Am Bm Em
But if I were to share it with you, you would stand to gain and I to lose
( Em B Em Em B )
G A9 Am B
Oh I couldn't bear it, so I've got nothing to say
( B A A B B B C C B B Amaj7 )
( B C D A A ) (single notes)
Nothing to say
( E E D D E E F F E E Dmaj7 )
( E F G D )
Nothing to say
( Em B Em Em B )
(same as verse 1)
Every morning pressure forming all around my eyes
Ceilings crash the walls collapse, broken by lies
That your misfortune brought upon us and I won't disguise them
So don't ask will I explain, I won't even begin to tell you why
No just because I have a name, well I've got nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Climb a tower of freedom, paint your own deceiving sign
It's not my power to criticize or ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem and the hate you must unwind
So ask of me no answer, there is none that I could give you couldn't find
I went your way ten years ago and I've got nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
