This is how Stone plays it live with a capo on the 5th fret


Intro

C Am  G Am  F    (x2)

Verse
C            Am G           Am     F
Once divided,    nothing left to subtract
C                     Am G       Am      F
Some words when spoken    can't be taken back
C               Am     G          Am         F
Walks on his own   with thoughts he can't help thinking
C              Am             G        Am         F
Future's above,     but in the past he's slow and sinking
Am                       G            F 
Caught a bolt of lightning,    cursed the day he let it go

Chorus:

C             Am   G
Nothingman,      nothingman
C                    F    G
Isn't it something?  Nothingman


2nd Verse:

C                Am         G       Am     F
She once believed   in every story he had to tell
C                     Am  G       Am      F
One day she stiffened,     took the other side
C           Am           G          Am            F
Empty stares    from each corner of a shared prison cell
C                Am       G     Am       F
One just escapes,    one's left inside the well
F                G         F              C       G
And he who forgets    will be destined to remember   oh  oh  oh

Chorus:

C              Am  G
Nothingman,      nothingman
C                    F    G
Isn't it something?  Nothingman

Bridge:

F              Am                 G
Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him)
        G       F            Am    F          G
Oh, she won't feed him,    after he's flown away
    F                            Am  F
Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun
F                    G
Burn, burn, burn  burn

Chorus:
C              Am  G
Nothingman,      nothingman
C                   F    G
Isn't it something?  Nothingman
C               Am  G
Nothingman,      nothingman
C                     F    G
Coulda been something, nothingman
