Short Side Of Nothing

Am  G  C
G   F  E7
Am  G  C
G   F  E7

[Verse 1]
 Am          G        C
Dreams wash down the gutter
G       F        E7
All my hopes in vain
 Am      G       C
Crows up on the rooftop
 G        F      E7
Laughing out my name


[Chorus]
       C           F   D/F#    G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
       C           F   D       G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing


[Verse 2]
    Am         G        C
We danced all night as life stood by
    G     F     E7
We told another lie
         Am        G      C
Found a spot down by the roadside
  G       F        E7
There I closed my eyes


[Chorus]
       C           F    D/F#   G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
       C           F   D/F#    G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
      Am         C
All alone, all alone
       F   D7     G
Can't find my way home


[Instrumental]
Am  G  C
G   F  E7
Am  G  C
G   F  E7

[Verse 3]
 Am         G            C
Summer has come and the heat hangs low
G     F       E7
No escape in sight
 Am       G        C
Sirens scream and lovers moan
           G   F     E7
Just like any other night


[Chorus]
       C           F   D/F#    G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
       C           F   D/F#    G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
      Am         C
All alone, all alone
      F    D7     G
Can't find my way home

[Outro]
Am  G  C
G   F  E7
