C#m G# A E E


[Verse 1]
     C#m                       G#
If I gave up the seat I'd been saving
         C#m             A
For some elderly lady or man
     B                      E
Am I being a good boy, am I your pride and joy?
        A                           D   A  E
Mother please tell me, please say I am


[Verse 2]
       C#m                       G#
And if while in the course of my duty
         C#m             A
I perform an unfortunate take
          B                E
Would you punish me so unbelievably so?
       A                             D     A  E
Mother please tell me, please say "I ache"


[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm
This feeling inside me could never deny me
    E                       A
The right to be wrong if I choose
         Am                      E
The best feeling I get from just placing a bet
       D   A  E
Is to lose


[Chorus]
        C#m                       G#
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
        C#m                          A
Nothing gained, nothing stillborn or lost
        B                                       E
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
        F#m                      B
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
        G#                      C#m
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
        F#m                      B
Nothing I couldn't say, nothing, why? 'Cause today
        E
Nothing rhymed


[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm
This feeling inside me could never deny me
    E                       A
The right to be wrong if I choose
         Am                      E
The best feeling I get from just placing a bet
       D   A  E
Is to lose

[Chorus]
        C#m                       G#
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
        C#m                          A
Nothing gained, nothing stillborn or lost
        B                                       E
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
        F#m                      B
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
        G#                      C#m
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
        F#m                      B
Nothing I couldn't say, nothing, why? 'Cause today
        E
Nothing rhymed
        F#m                      B
Nothing I couldn't say, nothing, why? 'Cause today
        E
Nothing rhymed
