View chords used in this chart
G D C D
When I come down, And all my money is spent
G D C D
Try as I may, I don't know where it went
G D C D
All the good times And all the fun that I had
G D C D
Just can't remember when I felt so bad
C D
It don't make no sense
C D
And it seems so odd
Bm Em D
And it makes me wonder if there's a God
 
G C
I ain't got nothing
D
After the fall
G C
I ain't got nothing
D
I got no one to call
G C
I ain't got nothing
D
Feeling so small
G C
I ain't got nothing
D
Nothing, nothing at all
 
This is not how
The end should have come
Who could imagine this when I was young?
Where is everybody?
It's not the way I wanted it to be
But the path I took
They've all outgrown
The party's over
I'm all alone
 
I ain't got nothing
After the fall
I ain't got nothing
Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing
I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing
Nothing, I got nothing at all
 
All the magic
I swore that I knew
Just disappeared, it hasn't left a clue
No one's talking
On my behalf
Here in the silence as I force a laugh
There was a time
I could of cried
Even my feelings have crawled up and died
 
I ain't got nothing
After the fall
I ain't got nothing
Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing
Against the wall
Now ain't that something?
Nothing, I got nothing at all
