[Verse 1] CGDEm Savanna scatters and the seabird sings CGDEm So why should we fear what travel brings CGDEm What were we hoping to get out of this CGDEm Some kind of momentary bliss
[Chorus] CGEm I waited for something but something died CGEm So I waited for nothing and nothing arrived
[Verse 2] CGDEm It's our dearest ally it's our closest friend CGDEm It's our darkest blackout it's our final end CGDEm My dear sweet nothing let's start anew CGDEm From here on in it's just me and you
[Chorus] CGEm I waited for something but something died CGEm So I waited for nothing and nothing arrived
[Verse 3] CGDEm Well I guess it's over I guess it's begun CGDEm It's a losers' table but we've already won CGDEm It's a funny battle it's a constant game CGDEm I guess I was busy when nothing came
[Outro] CEm I guess I was busy when nothing arrived CEm I guess I was busy when nothing arrived CEm I guess I was busy when nothing arrived C I guess I was busy
