Nothing in Return (Erikson)
Verse 1:
[tab]
I call your name in the midnight[/tab]
[tab]

[tab]
I love you so dearly and nearly[/tab]
[tab]
But you don t love me at all[/tab]
[tab]Chorus:
There s nothin in this big round world that s worse[/tab]
[tab] /
Hu--ur---ur---rts[/tab]
[tab]
Than payin out n receivin nothin in return[/tab]
Verse 2:
Every day and night I dial your number
But you never answer the phone
Are you really not there when I call you?
What gives you so much chance to roam?
- chorus -
[tab]Bridge: /
If I only knew how to get you[/tab]
[tab]
Well I tried all I know and failed except for lovin you so[/tab]
Verse 3:
I sought you out and found out your name first
But my name you never seem to have called
How in this world can I date you
When you won t give me a call?
