The Nothing Song

M.L. Kortes

Little (C)birdie wants to (G)sing

Singing (C)every day for (G)spring

It wants (C)new feathers on its (G)wing

Like mama (C)said, desire is (G)king

Is (E)king

(Am)(Am)(Am)(Am)

All I (Am)want is to want nothing

Now (Dm)wouldn't that be (Am)something

Is (G)that too much to (C)ask

A (G)monumental (C)task (C/B)it's (E)true

All I (Am)want is to want (Dm)nothing from (Am)you

(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)

Let it (Am)rain down some sunshine

One fine (Dm)day I will feel (Am)fine

A (G)house upon a (C)hill

Apple (G)trees and daffo(C)dils (C/B)grow (Am)free

Let it (Am)rain down some (Dm)sunshine on (Am)me

Where (G/B)can I (C)run

Where (C/B)can I (Am)go

What can I (G)tell

That has not been (Dm)told (Am)

They say (Am)love is a stranger

What you (Dm)love, it will (Am)change you

For (G)better or for (C)worse

A (G)blessing and a (C)curse (C/B)will (E)show

They say (Am)love is a (Dm)stranger I (Am)know

(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)

I gave a (Am)child to my mother

Had a (Dm)heart like no (Am)other

And (G)love as pure as (C)gold

(G)Deep as any (C)soul (C/B)could (E)see

The child I (Am)gave to my (Dm)mother was (Am)me

(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)

Where (G/B)can I (C)go

Where (C/B)can I (Am)run

What can I (G)sing

That has not been (Dm)sung (Am)

(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)

There's a (Am)sign every morning

Let it (Dm)shine like a (Am)warning

And (G)show me where to (C)turn

And (G)where the fires (C)burn (C/B)most (Am)bright

There's a (Am)sign every (Dm)morning and (Am)night

(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)(Dm)(Am)(Am)

All I (Am)want is to want nothing

But (Dm)that's still wanting (Am)something

(G)Hope eternal (C)springs

While (G)every summer (C)brings (C/B)the (E)fall

All I (Am)want is to want (Dm)nothing at (Am)all...
