Thanks For Nothing

Lyrics

I gave you all I had
You gave me nothing back
Now I thank you for the nothing
Because somehow
 
Everything fell into place
Thanks For Nothing
 
Long after you had gone
You kept me hanging on
But somehow it's getting better all the time
 
I thank you
Because the nothing that you gave me
Was just the thing to save me
Thanks a lot...

Miscellaneous Info

I wrote the music for this one while playing around with an open D-flat tuning on my guitar. I couldn't get the melody out of my head for about a month so I figured I'd better write some lyrics to go with it.
 
I really like some of the chord changes in this one and the spooky piano part at the end is kind of cool, too. But it's Bob's playing in the verses that makes this song really work for me.
