Nothing Rhymed - Gilbert O'Sullivan

[Am] [E] [F] [F C]

If I [Am] give up the seat I've been [E] saving
To some [Am] elderly [Am/G] lady or [F] man
Am I [G] being a good boy
Am I [G7] your pride and [C] joy
Mother [F] please if your pleased say I [Bb] am [C]

And if [Am] while in the course of my [E7] duty
I per[Am]form an un[Am/G] fortunate [F] take
Would you [G] punish me so, unbe[G7]lievably [C]so
Never ag[F]ain will I make that mistake [C]

[Bb] This feeling inside me could [F] never den[C]y me
The [F] right to be [C] wrong if I [F]choose
And this [Fm] pleasure I get from say [C]winning a bet is to [Bb]lose [Bb] [C]

When I'm [Am] drinking my Bonaparte S[E]handy
Eating [Am] more than en[Am/G]ough apple [F]pies
Will I [G] glance at my screen and see [G7] real human [C]
beings starve to [F] death right in front of my [Bb] eyes [C]

Nothing [Am] old, nothing new, nothing [E] ventured
Nothing [Am]gained, n[Am/G]othing still-born or [F] lost
Nothing [G] further than proof nothing [G7] wilder than [C] youth
Nothing [F] older than time nothing [G] sweeter than wine
Nothing [E] physically, [E7] recklessly, [Am] hopelessly [Am/G] blind
Nothing [F] I couldn't say nothing [G] why 'cos today
Nothing rh[C]ymed

Oooo, ooo

[Bb] This feeling inside me could [F] never den[C]y me
The [F] right to be [C] wrong if I [F]choose
And this [Fm] pleasure I get from say [C]winning a bet is to [Bb]lose [Bb] [C]

Nothing [Am] old, nothing new, nothing [E] ventured
Nothing [Am]gained, n[Am/G]othing still-born or [F] lost
Nothing [G] further than proof nothing [G7] wilder than [C] youth
Nothing [F] older than time nothing [G] sweeter than wine
Nothing [E] physically, [E7] recklessly, [Am] hopelessly [Am/G] blind
Nothing [F] I couldn't say nothing [G] why 'cos today
Nothing rh[C]ymed
