Em7  A7          C                G           Em7    A7        C           G 
    It was one hundred degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree,  
           Em7            A7                  C                G            Em7      A7       C    G  
Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.  
            Em7      A7    C           G         Em7               A7                    C           G 
And I knew I'd made horrible call. And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall, 
                Em7      A7                       C            G         Em7    A7      C        G 
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm.....

    'Cause I built you a    home in my heart  
        Em      Em(7M)     Em7                 A7 
with rotten wood--it      decayed from the start 
                    C            G            D          
'Cause you can't find nothing at all, 
             C                  G           D          
If there was nothing there all along. 
            C             G            D          
No you can't find nothing at all, 
              C                 G            D               
If there was nothing there all along.

       I braved treacherous streets, and kids strung out on homemade speed 
              Em7      A7                 C                G      Em7      A7           C    G 
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all, woo-hoo, woo-hoo 
Em7            A7           C           G                     Em7  A7           C            G 
   'Cause at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth,  
            Em7          A7                   C   G          Em7   A7    C     G 
In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both 

  
Em          Em(7M)           Em7               B7 
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,  
                   Em           Em(7M)    A7 (2) 
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.  
  
Chorus, play last D 2 measures 
  

A7 (hold 2)         B7 (hold 2) 
I'm a war, of head versus heart,  
      Em7 (hold 2)        A7 (hold 2) 
It's always this way.  
       A7 (hold 2)              B7 (hold 2) 
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,  
     Em7 (hold 2)          A7 (2) 
Before I know what it will say.

And you can't find nothing at all, 
             C                  G           D          
If there was nothing there all along.

There were churches, theme parks, and malls, 
                  C           G            D (hold)     
There was nothing there all along.
