VERSE 1:

Em                       Dm
I saw the world, it was beautiful
        Am               C          C*
But the rain got in, and ruined it all
Em                  Dm
Then I tried to be invisible
        Am                  C     C* 
It was impossible, even for me
Em                            D            
I laughed at love, it was a big mistake
        Am            C
In the absence of, I filled it with hate


CHORUS:
Riff
0--6--0--6-7-8--3--0--8-9-10--5--0--10-11-12--0--0-5-7-10

              Em      G        D     Em
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
              Em      G        D          Em
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all


VERSE 2 (same as verse 1):

I had the brains not to think at all
But the rain got in, and I thought too hard
On the world and as usual
I slumped too far, into the void
I tried to make everything meaningless
But the rain got in
And made it a mess


CHORUS:
Riff
0--6--0--6-7-8--3--0--8-9-10--5--0--10-11-12--0--0-5-7-10

              Em      G        D     Em
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
              Em      G        D          Em
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all
             Em      G        D     Em
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing
       Em              G               D             Em
But my finger's on the trigger and I'll turn off the world


BRIDGE:
C                       Am
  So what give me the right
                      G            Bm                C
To think that I could throw away a life? even mine
                     Am
And what makes you believe
                    G                Bm
That you could get away with getting old?
              Em
Overlapping me
                    Dm
Maybe to lose or to save your soul
     Am
Is a choice of how
              C     C*  
You fill the hole!
Riff
And the rain got in


CHORUS:
              Em      G        D     Em
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
              Em      G        D          Em
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all
        Em      G        D     Em
There's no such thing as nothing
       Em              G              D             Em
But my finger's on the trigger and I'll turn off the world
