[Verse 1]
A D
Well there's an ideal inside of me
A D
That we're nothing at all
A D
There's nothing threatening controlling me
A D
In fact there's nothing at all
D A D
And still the wheel turning's all I'll be
A D
It carries on til you crawl
A D
You gotta know what you want to be
A D
But there's no number to call
[Break]

[Verse 2]
D A D
You got a feeling nothing here is free
A D
'Cause you grew up in a mall
A D
Your mom she caught you all on T.V.
A D
And you can still hear her bawl
A D
You got a million things you want to flee
A D
Smuggle an ounce in a doll
A D
I cut you eyes so you can finally see
A D
That they're nothing at all
A D
Turns out there's nothing at all

Wasn't alive back in the sixties
A D
Somehow that was my fault
A D
I'm just a shell empty as can be
A D
Yeah, I've got nothing at all
A D
You want to put your trust in some solid thing,
A D
Yeah, its a drug to us all
A D
But there's no ideal inside of me
D A D
So I got nothing at all
A D
No I got nothing at all
A D
and I got nothing at all
[Bridge]
