These riffs are played with a lot of variation, what I've transcribed is a basic 
outline. Have fun with it. PLayed finger style.
For those who want to play chords, the progression is E E/D E/C# E/D
     E A D G B E
E    x x 2 4 5 x
E/D  x 5 x 4 5 x
E/C# x 4 x 4 5 x


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
