Nothing But a Song
guitar chords lyrics
These chords are just about 100% accurate. I determined them by watching multiple videos
of GBS performing this song live.
Capo 1st fret, Standard tuning
Intro:
D A G x2
Verse 1:
D
Her brother can be difficult
A
A blessing and a curse
G
But a livin' life without one
Is somethin' far worse
D
Together in fraternity
A
A sentence set for life
G
Laced with petty rivalries
D A
And ready for a fight
Verse 2:
Together in fraternity
A sentence set for life
Laced with petty rivalries
And ready for a fight
Verse 3:
When nothing's ever left unsaid
The battle lines are drawn
Promises are broken
Attack again at dawn
Verse 4:
Weapons drawn and ready
And who will fire first
Hands strong and steady
Hit exactly where it hurts
Chorus:
G D
But you never lead a love so rare
G D A
You never lead a love so long
Em7/B G/F# G
Remember that the life we share
A
Is nothin' but a song
Verse 5:
So you put on a happy face
For everybody new
But the closest to your heart
So rarely get the best of you
Verse 6:
A moment's contradiction
And the bickering's begun
Daughters after mothers
And fathers on their sons
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Bm A G
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (x4)
(Chorus)
Outro:
D A G (x2)
Bm A G
