VERSE 1:
D                      
Come outside and we'll take a walk
G                          
You can laugh out loud, no one will talk
D                               G
Go barefoot and never feel insane
               
D                                
There's a girl over there by the windowsill
G  
And it looks like she's got some time to kill 
D                                               G              
She says "Nothing really matters and what if it did?"

          Bm                 D
But don't think that it's so strange
Bm                    G
Yeah and don't act so surprised
            D                  G                         D  
Well, she's quite content in a State Street state of mind


(RIFF)

VERSE 2:
D                           
There's a man that's living down the street
G           
But he never has enough to eat
D                                        G
You can look at him and see clear to the bone
D                 
Well he'll hold his breath till he turns blue
G
And you'll ask yourself "Man, what can I do"
D                                          G
And then he says "Nothing really matters anyway"


(CHORUS)
          Bm                 D
Ah, don't think that it's so strange
            Bm               G
Yeah, well, don't act so surprised
            D                 G                        D
Well, he's quite content in a State Street state of mind


BRIDGE:
Bm                    D                     G
And the words have no time to recognize the pain
G
The pain, the pain, the pain....

She says "Nothing really matters and what if it did?"
