Make yourself at [C]home, 'cause I'm going [E]out, Across the [F]street to get us some w[G]ater
'cause this water's [C]brown, and I'm so em[E]barrassed To have you [F]here but I want you [G]around
Usually I'd [C]sing, or play you my [E]guitar, But I [F]know it won't get very [G]far with you
'cause you like [C]music that makes you [E]move, And mine has a [F]groove, but it's nothing I can [G]prove
Please know what I [F]mean When I say-[C]ay nothing[F], When I say-[C]ay nothing[F], When I say-[C]ay nothing[F],
When I s[G]ay

Things that I [C]buy and things that I [E]think, Haven't made [F]this a better place to [G]be
Drugs that I [C]try and drinks that I [E]drink, Haven't made [F]this a better place to [G]be
It's still just a [C]room with the drums in the [E]middle, A couch along the [F]wall that works as my b[G]ed
I still have a [C]phone that rings all [E]day, I still have [F]things I wish I would of sa[G]id
Please know what I [F]mean When I say-[C]ay nothing[F], When I say-[C]ay nothing[F], When I say-[C]ay nothing[F],
When I s[G]ay

[C]This whole thing's been [F]hard on me, It [C]breaks my heart[F], do you know what that me[C]ans[F]
[C]My new place seems s[F]trange to me, It [C]breaks my heart[F], do you know what that me[C]ans[F]
Strum C
It means nothing
