Some Things Don't Mean A Thing

Ami G E
F Dmi E

C E7 Ami C7
F A Dmi G7

Some look for differences, some look for common things,
Some look for answers, that the truth never brings
Some look right through you, to the silent bird who sings
Some things mean everything and some just don't
mean a thing...

Some see the truth in clouds, malleable little dreams
Some see the dreams of truth flowing in the streams
But I've seen them all and yet I know nothing
Somethings mean everything and some just don't
mean a thing...

C7

F Dmi
I see a universe carved into the sand

E7 Ami
All the days of my youth

F Dmi
But for all the unexplained moments

E7
I can't give you proof

Some embrace the smell of things, some hide behind perfume
I just love the smell of you when you walk in the room
Some look to the stars above for a single grain of truth
I see the whole beach shining in you

Some fall in love one time on a straight and narrow road
Some fall in love daily in an adventure that ever grows
Everything changes and ways we never dream
Somethings mean everything and some just don't
mean a thing...

Some dig for questions and some for diamond rings
Some jump for joy and some fall for anything
Put kisses on my lips and silence for my screams
Somethings mean everything and some just don't
mean a thing...
