[Verse 1] Em7A7CGEm7A7CG It was one hundred degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree Em7A7CG Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air Em7A7CG N.C.

[Chorus] CGD And you can't find nothin' at all CGD if there was nothin' there all along CGD No, you can't find nothin' at all CGDD if there was nothin' there all along (No, you can't find) CGD And you can't find nothin' at all CGD if there was nothin' there all along CGD There were churches, theme parks and malls CGD there was nothin' there all along
