Nothing Else Matters

Words & Music:

Metallica

 

This is fully tabbed in the Metallica issue of Guitar Legends.

 

Em                  D     C  Em                    D           C

So close, no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart.

Em               D       C  G   B            Em

Forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters.

 

Never opened myself this way.  Life is ours, we live it our way.

All these words I don't just say and nothing else matters.

 

Trust I seek and find in you.  Every day for us something new.

Open mind for a different view and nothing else matters.

 

CHORUS:

C  A  D                         C  A

      Never cared for what they do.

D                         C   A   D     Em

Never cared for what they know--; but I know.

SECOND & THIRD VERSES REPRISE

 

[over chorus chords:]

Never cared for what they say.

Never cared for what they play.

Never cared for what they do.

Never cared for what they know; but I know.
