E            B             G#m            F#
You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
E            B           G#m              F#
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
E            B               G#m            F#
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
E           B          G#m F#
There is a hollow in me now

Chorus:
E                B
So I put my faith in something unknown
G#m           F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E                     B
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
G#m            F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing
E
And it's hard to learn
B
And it's hard to love
G#m                    F#
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
E             B
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
G#m               F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

It isn't easy for me to let it go
'Cause I've swallowed every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

Chorus:
So I'll put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn, and it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing

E              B
And it's not enough
    G#m             F#
To tell me that you care
E               B       G#m            F#
When, we both know the words are empty air
               E B G#m F#
You give me nothing
E   B G#m F#
Nothing
