[Verse 1] F#m7 B7 E A F#m7 B7 E A It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree, F#m7 B7 E A F#m7 B7 Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to E A fall--
[Verse 2] F#m7 B7 E A And I knew I'd made horrible call, F#m7 B7 E A And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall, F#m7 B7 E A And there was no doubt about which side I was on, mhm.
[Interlude] F#m B7 D A
[Bridge] F#m Bbm Em Bbm Cause I built you a home in my heart, F#m Bbm A E With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.
[Chorus] D A E Cause you can't find nothing at all, D A E - repeat - If there was nothing there all along. No you can't find nothing at all, If there was nothing there all along.
[Interlude] F#m B7 D A F#m B7 D A
[Verse 3] I braved treacherous streets, And kids strung out on homemade speed. And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep, At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
[Verse 2] Cause at night the sun in retreat, Made the skyline look like crooked teeth, In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
[Bridge] You're so cute when you're slurring your speech, But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
[Chorus] And you can't find nothing at all, If there was nothing there all along. No you can't find nothing at all, If there was nothing there all along. F#m Bbm7 I'm a war, of head versus heart, F#m And it's always this way. F#m E My head is weak, my heart always speaks, A E Before I know what it will say.
[Chorus] And you can't find nothing at all, If there was nothing there all along. There were churches, theme parks and malls, But there was nothing there all along.
