[Verse 1]
C G C
Oh I know this guitar and I'm sure that he knows me my fingers find the frets the
G
strings begin to sing
C G C
but some time ago the writer just packed his bags now all the songs I sing are worn and
G
tired and sad
[Chorus]
Am Em G C Am
and poor old mister nothing who has settled on my lips over the hills he has been
Em G
roughing just to find a
C G
place he fits
[Verse 2]
C G C G
I open my mouth but I don't hear a sound and the silence here is heavy all around 'cause
C
I hid away just
G C G
hoping I'd be found where the floorboards creak and I'm lying on the ground and the
C
folks around here say to
G C G
write about what you care if I knew what that was then I'd tell you I swear
[Chorus]
Am Em G C Am
oh and poor old mister nothing who the folks forgot about maybe one day they will come
Em G
running when they find
C G
that the world wears out oh when I wear out
[Verse 3]
C G C
There was a time when songs came like a river but like flowers in the spring and feeble
G
things they're gone
C G
and nothing takes their place yeah nothing just moves on in
C G
I'll bet he's listening somewhere and watching me with a grin
[Outro]
Am Em G C Am
So I'll go out in the morning and I'll climb the highest stair of the rocky mountains
Em G
soaring till he heads
C G
back to nowhere, then I'll write a song
