G            D               C          D 
When I come down, And all my money is spent 
G          D           C             D 
Try as I may, I don't know where it went 
G             D             C              D 
All the good times And all the fun that I had 
G             D             C              D 
Just can't remember when I felt so bad 
C                D 
It don't make no sense 
C                D 
And it seems so odd 
Bm               Em                D 
And it makes me wonder if there's a God 

G             C 
I ain't got nothing 
           D 
After the fall 
G             C 
I ain't got nothing 
                D 
I got no one to call 
G              C 
I ain't got nothing 
             D 
Feeling so small 
G             C 
I ain't got nothing 
                 D 
Nothing, nothing at all 

This is not how 
The end should have come 
Who could imagine this when I was young? 
Where is everybody? 
It's not the way I wanted it to be 
But the path I took 
They've all outgrown 
The party's over 
I'm all alone 

I ain't got nothing 
After the fall 
I ain't got nothing 
Feeling so small 
I ain't got nothing 
I got no one to call 
I ain't got nothing 
Nothing, I got nothing at all 

All the magic 
I swore that I knew 
Just disappeared, it hasn't left a clue 
No one's talking 
On my behalf 
Here in the silence as I force a laugh 
There was a time 
I could of cried 
Even my feelings have crawled up and died 

I ain't got nothing 
After the fall 
I ain't got nothing 
Feeling so small 
I ain't got nothing 
Against the wall 
Now ain't that something? 
Nothing, I got nothing at all
