Nothing Rhymed
Gilbert O’Sullivan

Dm A
If I give up the seat I’ve been saving
Dm Bb
To some elderly lady or man
C
Am I being a good boy
C7 F
Am I your pride and joy
Bb Eb F
Mother please if your pleased say I am
Dm A
And if while in the course of my duty
Dm Bb
I perform an unfortunate take
C
Would you punish me so,
C7 F
unbelievably so
Bb Eb F
Never again will I make that mistake
Bbsus4 F7
This feeling inside me could never deny me
Bb
The right to be wrong if I choose
Bbm
And this pleasure I get
F
From say winning a bet
Eb F
Is to lose
Dm A
When I’m drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Dm Bb
Eating more than enough apple pies
C C7 F
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings
Bb
Starve to death
Eb F
Right in front of my eyes
Dm A7
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Dm Dm7 Bb
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
C C7 F
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Bb C
Nothing older than time nothing sweeter than wine
A A7 Dm Dm7
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Bb
Nothing I couldn’t say
Gm C7
Nothing why ‘cos today
F
Nothing rhymed
