James Keelaghan - Nothing
INTRO:   Am    F    C    G(4x)
Hush a moment, do not make a CsoundF  
Lots of action here, but Cnothing's going Gdown
Some guy on TV with his sharp Italian CsuitF  
Is telling lies to you and Cswearing they're the Gtruth
His lips are moving, but Dmhe's not making FsenseG  
Takes all his effort to keep Dmbalanced on the Ffence__G_
CHORUS:
He'll say AmnothingF  C  G  
Thanks for AmnothingF  
CHim and his Gpromises meaAmn nothingF  
CThat's what he's Gselling youAm, NothinFgC  G  
Give him an issue, he'll find his way aCround it
By Fscrambling his syntax and Choping to conGfound it
Nothing's what he ventured and nothing's what we Cgain
You Fthink that you've heard Ceverything, then Nothing strikes aGgain
Ask him a question, Dmtry to get some FfactsG  
He'll just blow smoke at you and Dmturn to the atFtack and Gsayyyy
CHORUS:
AmCaptainF  C  G  
Thanks for AmnothingF  
CHim and his Gpromises meaAmn nothingF  
CThat's all he's Gselling youAm, NothinFgC  G  
Lately I've noticed lots of Nothing going 'Cround
FPress releases, advertising, reCporters on the Gground
All sound and fury, you know how the saying Cgoes
FSignifying nothing with the Cposer and his Gpose
Hey, take a look, there's Dmnothing up his Fsleeve and
GEven less between his ears and Dmstill we all beFlieve__G_
CHORUS:
He says AmnothingF  C  G  
Thanks for AmnothingF  
CHim and his GpromisAmes, nothingF  
CThat's what he's Gselling youAm, NothinFgC  G  
Thanks for AmnothingF
