This song was played in the movie Reality Bites and it was the actor
Ethan Hawke who sang it. I really like this song. But in the movie
he just plays VERSE 1 and then the CHORUS/OUTRO. The first chorus,
which was not played in the movie, has totally different chords
than the CHORUS/OUTRO. Enjoy!
When you're playing the chord, most of the time
you should play it like this:
* *
It's played like that in all the verses and the intro.
The only comfortable way to play this is to use your
index finger to play the chord, then when you play the
* you can just hammer on the and strings with your
middle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does.
When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just means
play the chord but throw in the a bit. A lot
of times he plays A and then throws in a for
instance.
OK, then you should be ready to play the song.
[play like tab above]
Got a pothead mama, got a cokehead dad
I'm an ultramodern version of the American man
I don't feel good, but don't feel bad
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
Ain't no republicrat, no demmican, they ain't nuthin' in between
I'm sick of people talkin' about American dreams
Cause that's all gone, ain't nothin' left for me
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
(sus2)
I ain't left, I ain't right, people say I'm wrong
(sus2)
Before I was born, oh that was all gone
*
Don't even make sense that I wrote this song, oh
[play this A chord like in the verses]
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
I'm nuthin'
BRIDGE:
(sus2)
Don't want no big TV, or no flashy garage
(sus2)
Never would cut it in no corporate job
*
People see me coming, they say 'hey, look at that slob'
[play this A chord like in the verses]
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
I'm nuthin'
Got a pothead mama, got a cokehead dad
I'm an ultramodern version of the American man
Don't feel good, but I don't feel bad
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
I ain't left, I ain't right, people say I'm wrong
(sus2)
Before I was born, oh that was all gone
*
Don't even make sense that I wrote this song, oh
Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'
I'm nuthin'
I'm nuthin'
[keep playing the A chord here like
I'm nuthin' it was played in the verses]
I'm nuthin'
That's me
I'm nuthin'
