E5  A5          C5                G5           E5    A5        C5           G5 
    It was one hundred degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree,  
           E5            A5                  C5                G5            E5      A5       C5    G5  
Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.  
            E5      A5    C5           G5         E5               A5                    C5           G5 
And I knew I'd made horrible call. And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall, 
                E5      A5                       C5            G5         E5    A5      C5        G5 
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm..... 
  

E5            E5    E5                 B5 
    'Cause I built you a    home in my heart  
        E5      E5     E5                 A5 
with rotten wood--it      decayed from the start 
                    C5            G5            D5          
'Cause you can't find nothing at all, 
             C5                  G5           D5          
If there was nothing there all along. 
            C5             G5            D5          
No you can't find nothing at all, 
              C5                 G5            D5               
If there was nothing there all along.

E5          A5  C5                      G5        E5             A5    C5                       G5 
       I braved treacherous streets, and kids strung out on homemade speed 
              E5      A5                 C5                G5      E5      A5           C5    G5 
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all, woo-hoo, woo-hoo 
E5            A5           C5           G5                     E5  A5           C5            G5 
   'Cause at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth,  
            E5          A5                   C5   G5          E5   A5    C5     G5 
In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both 

  
E5          E5           E5               B5 
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,  
                   E5           E5    A5 (2) 
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.  
  
Chorus, play last D 2 measures 
  

A5 (hold 2)         B5 (hold 2) 
I'm a war, of head versus heart,  
      E5 (hold 2)        A5 (hold 2) 
It's always this way.  
       A5 (hold 2)              B5 (hold 2) 
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,  
     E5 (hold 2)          A5 (2) 
Before I know what it will say.

And you can't find nothing at all, 
             C5                  G5           D5          
If there was nothing there all along.

No, you can't find nothing at all, 
             C5                  G5           D5          
If there was nothing there all along.

There were churches, theme parks, and malls, 
                  C5           G5            D5 (hold)     
There was nothing there all along.
