It Was Nothing At All

[rsadasiv]

A cafe nihilist

G A D

Em A D Bm

G A D

Something told me you
Could be my style
Something told me you
Would give me a smile
But when something came to be
A whole monstrosity
It was something that you couldn’t see
It was nothing at all

Sensing it could be
One of those nights
Sensing this could be
Something so nice
But something said to me
It ain’t worth it if it isn’t free
Sensing it to be
It was nothing at all

Sometimes you might think
It’s gonna be fine
Sometimes you might wink
And show me your smile
But sometimes ain’t today
If it ever mattered anyway
It was something that you couldn’t say
It was nothing at all

 

[Chicken Man]

I love the something/nothing play in the first verse. I'd tread carefully with the nights/nice rhyme--it's very clever on paper, but lives or dies in the pronunciation in the performance.

Life
Is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing
