Lyrics

You took n’t my heart y and you held it in your mouth.

And,

with a word, lowed all my love came rush ing out.

And,

ev ’ry whis (C6)per, it’s the worst,

emp tied out by a sin gle word.

And There is a hol low in me now, (Am7)me now, me now.

So I put my faith in some thing un known.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

But I’m try’n’ to hope with noth in’ to hold.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s hard to learn.

And it’s hard to love when you’re giv in’ me (G)such sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’.

You’re giv ing me (G)such sweet noth in’.

It is n’t eas heart y and for me to let it go.

’Cause

I have swal lowed all ev love ’ry sin gle word.

And,

ev ’ry whis (C6)per, ev ’ry sigh

eats a way at this heart of mine.

And there is a hol low in me now, (Am7)me now, me now.

So I put my faith in some thing un known.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

But I’m try’n’ to hope with noth in’ to hold.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s hard to learn.

And it’s hard to love when you’re giv in’ me (G)such sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’.

You’re giv ing me (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s not e nough

to tell me that you care

when

we both know

that words are emp ty air.

You give me (Fmaj7)noth in’,

noth in’.

Whoa,

whoa,

whoa,

sweet noth in’.

Whoa,

whoa,

whoa,

sweet noth in’.
