All or Nothing

D... G... D... G...

D               G
A little bit of nothing
             D              A  /c#
is more than everything at once
Bm Em            G
a lot of little nothings
             D          A     Bm
might add up over many months
A G             A
I stare into the paper
                F#m         G
thinking I can fill all the blanks
D        A              G
I let my basement muse out
    A          Em           D
but she never gives me her thanks

G              A     D   A
All the things I can do
Bm  Em   D
and I do nothing
G          A      D   A
everything I ever do
Bm    Em    D
it's all or nothing

Oh, paint a pretty picture
of a surfer about to drown
go attend a lecture
and forget to write things down
save a little time for rest
but I'm so restless I could die
they say sit still and be quiet
but I'm like a shark, so I'd die

All the things I can do
and I do nothing
everything I ever do
it's all or nothing

I was anybody's son
the years before my birth
and afterwards when I am gone
I'll haunt you on this earth
I get lost in a frenzy
without water or food
boning up on latin words
and sleeping in until noon

All the things I can do
and I do nothing
everything I ever do
it's all or nothing
