Nothing To Show

  NOTHING TO SHOW   Jon Langford  (With Richard Buckner)



G



G                                                     Am

Nothing to show for the things that I've done

Am                                    D                         C

There were places to go and I had to choose this one

G                                                                                          Am

Well I had some dreams in My head, had some tricks up my sleeve

Am                                                   C                                     G

Now I'll be lucky to leave with my life, yes Ill be lucky to leave



G                                              Am

Over The line and into your bed

Am                                       D                                           C

Where desire and shame consume like a flame, and wise men might fear to tread

G                                                                            Am

You closed my mouth with a touch, I said too much

Am                                            C                                      G

Oh you tried to turn back the tide, you didn't want to know



Chorus:

Am                       D       G                                  C

You can find me here where the city lights burn

Am           D                     G

The stars right out of the sky

Am                                          D                           G

And the birds sing all night as the traffic rolls by

Am                                     D

loosing my name like the millions who came

          G                              C

just to say that they were right

             Am                                                             C

We'll be lucky to leave, lucky to leave with our lives

             Am                      C                                    G

We'll be lucky to leave, lucky to leave with our lives



G                                                     Am

Nothing to show since it all went wrong

Am                           D                                     C

and nowhere to go but the streets that I'm walking on

G                                                                                          Am

I had changed horse in midstream, i went down like a stone

Am                                                        C                                G

Thought Id slip off the hook, now Im battered and cooked, gutted and boned



Chorus



G    Am
