Tabbed by: ehbacon

Tuning: Standard
Lyrics: azlyrics.com
I saw that this great song had no tabs so I decided to tab it out.
I tried to be as exact as possible, and hope it shows. Please
read over all the directions carefully and look at the order of
the parts at the bottom.
Use a capo on the 1st fret-
Intro/verse: "Once divided"

Lyrics: (from AZlyrics.com)
once divided...nothing left to subtract...
some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
she once believed...in every story he had to tell...
one day she stiffened...took the other side...
empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
one just escapes...one's left inside the well...
and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
oh, she don't want him...
oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
burn...burn...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
nothingman...
coulda' been something...
nothingman...
oh...ohh...ohh...
