Intro: C          Am  G            Am     F 

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         Am 
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...

F                          G            F                Em    F  G
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman...

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       Am
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...

F                  G         F                 Em F           G
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

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