[Verse]

E             B              G#m            F#
You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
E             B           G#m             F#
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
E            B             G#m                F#
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
E          B         G#m    F#
There is a hollow in me now


[Chorus]

E                  B
So I put my faith in something unknown
G#m              F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E                      B
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
G#m             F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E
And it's hard to learn
B
And it's hard to love
G#m                   F#
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
E               B
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
G#m              F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

E   B   G#m   F#


[Verse]

E       B        G#m          F#
It isn't easy for me to let it go
  E
Cause
         B       G#m         F#
I've swallowed every single word
 E
And
        B            G#m
Every whisper, every sigh
       F#                    E
Eats away at this heart of mine
                 B           G#m      F#
And there is a hollow in me now


[Chorus]

E                  B
So I put my faith in something unknown
G#m              F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E                      B
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
G#m             F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E
And it's hard to learn
B
And it's hard to love
G#m                   F#
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
E               B
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
G#m              F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

E   B   G#m   F#


[Outro]

E               B
And it's not enough
     G#m             F#
To tell me that you care
E              B        G#m           F#
When, we both know the words are empty air
               E   B   G#m   F#
You give me nothi-------------ng
E   B   G#m   F#
Nothi---------ng
