GI’ve got nothin’ darlin’,     All I’ve got are Ambroken wings
CA little love meanGs everytDhing
GWe’ve got nothing baby, If we don’t take iAmt for our selves 
ACnd I need you more thGan ever nowD  
And still somehow…
Chorus:
CWe   get   Garound, D  
CIn    haGnd me downsD  
*Same chords used as chorus*
C, G, D for this bit listen to song for timing
Cos nothing in the world comes easy for us, even if it looks that way, 
And I’m still getting round in the same stuff I wore around in 98’
So when you gonna get a real job son and buy a bit of real estate?
If that means living someone elses life I guess were gonna have to wait
Another day…
Bridge with harmonica solo
Am, Em, C  
Am, C, D  
Chorus: but sort of palm mute it/play it quieter 
GI’ve got nothin’ darlin’,     All I’ve got are Ambroken wings
CA little love meanGs everythingD  
End.
