[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
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  
E   B   G#m   F#
[Strophe]
E       B        G#m          F# 
It isn't easy for me to let it go 
  E 
Cause 
         B       G#m         F# 
I've swallowed every single word 
 E 
And 
        B            G#m 
Every whisper, every sigh 
       F#                    E 
Eats away at this heart of mine 
                 B           G#m      F# 
And there is a hollow in me now
[Refrain]
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  
E   B   G#m   F#
[Outro]
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 nothi-           ng 
E   B   G#m   F# 
Nothi-        ng
