Nothing nNothing

Nothing inside
Gm
& there’s no reason to cry

Just fade away like love
Gm
Clutching hanging
C
By a nail in this life
Gm
Desperate always
C
looks that way
Gm
Free fall from the nest
then glide to the left
C
A shine catch the eye
so flow to the right
Gm
Flying high realize there
are no more mountains
C
to climb
