When Something Stands For Nothin
by the Headstones
intro: (E5 D5 A) x4, pause...
E D A E D A
When something stands for nothin, a detached memory
E D A E D A
This one's about everythin you don't think about until you sleep
E D A E D A
This one's for nothin, and this one's for fun,
E D A E D A
This one's about rock n' roll, and comic books and bubble gum
E5 D5 A...
Ooh ooh ooh...
Well each day offers somethin, but none of it'll last
Unless you, ya take the reigns, take em from the knight,
Push the pawn right through the pass.
And this one's for the silence, and the questions that it brings
And the smell of time and the reverence, and the possibilities
Ooh ooh ooh...
Ya double up the foreground, ya put it on a slide,
Inspect it with your perfect ways, until it burns your eyes
And this one's for nothin, and this one's for fun
And this one's about rock n' roll and comic books and bubble gum
Ooh ooh ooh...
