I'm not sure what key the song is in, but this works anyway.

    C            C/B           Am                G
How hard for the covers to be pulled from their slumbers,
       F           G            C
but a ghost never gives up its sheet.
                    C/B          Am       G            F         G 
Tell me, is it the same for the rattling chains or whatever you wear when 
     C
you sleep?
       F                                                C
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
         C/B         Am
You were naked as a window.
          C              G           F          G        C
But I'll take all that nothing over nothing at all.
            C/B         Am           G  
I'm just a hallway for ceilings and walls, babe
    F         G            C
and emptiness all the way through.
                C          C/B        Am           G
You know you're asking too much to be held and not touched,
        F           G            C
but somehow that's just what you do.
       F                                                C
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
         C/B        Am
You were naked as a window
          C              G           F          G        C
But I'd take all that nothing over nothing at all.
          C              G           F             G         C
Yeah I'd take all that nothing over nothing, over nothing at all.
