Artist: The Script
Song: Nothing
Album: Science and Faith
This should be 99% correct. I checked out the other chords/versions, but they
really didn't reflect the song accurately. So here is my take. Enjoy. - Mike

intro Em7 D Bm A x2
[Verse 1]
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
[Verse 2]
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
(Here's where the 1% I'm not entirely sure of, but it sounds decent..)
(chords in parentheses is the bass line that goes up in the song, then holds at D.
Listen for the chord progression and everything should be straightforward.)
(Em7 F#/D G) D
Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
(Em7 F#/D G) D
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
(Em7 F#/D G) D
When you realize there's no one waiting
(Em7 F#/D G) D (then hold D)
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh I got nothing
A Bm G (strum out)
I got nothing [x3]
