Chords for A Chorus Line (2006 Broadway Revival Cast) - 6. Montage Part 2: Nothing

So excited because I'm gonna go to [Bb] the high school of performing arts.
[Db] I mean I was dying to be a [Eb] serious actress
[F] Anyway, it's the first day of acting class and we're in the auditorium and the teacher [Bbm] mr.
Karp.
[F] Oh
Mr. Karp
Anyway, he puts us up on the stage with our legs around each other one and back of the other and he says, okay
We're gonna do
[Bb] Improvisations now you're on a bobsled.
It's snowing out and it's cold
Okay _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Every day for a week would try to [Bb] feel the [Bbm] motion
_ [Ab]
feel [Abm] the motion
[Eb] down [Bb] the hill
Every day for a week would try to hear [Bbm] the wind rush
[Ab]
hear [Abm] the wind rush
[Eb] feel the chill
[Ab] And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul to [Bb] see what I had [Eb] inside
Yes, I dug [Bb] right down to the [Eb] bottom of my [C] soul and I tried
[F]
I [Bb] tried
And [Abm] everybody's going whoosh whoosh.
I feel the snow.
[Bb] I feel the [Abm] cold
I feel the air [Bb] and Karp turns to me [Abm] and he says, okay Morales.
What did you feel?
_ [Bb]
And [F] I said
[Bb] Nothing, I'm [G] feeling [C] nothing and he said [Fm] nothing could [Bb] get a girl transferred
[Eb]
They [Fm] all felt [Bb] something
But I felt [C] nothing
Except the [Fm] feeling that [Bb] this bullshit was absurd, but I said to myself, hey, it's only the first week
Maybe it's genetic.
They don't have bobsleds in San Juan
Second week more advanced and we had to be [Bbm] a table [Ab] be a sports [Eb] car
ice-cream [Bb] cone
[Eb] Mr.
Karp, he would say [Bb] very good [Bbm] except Morales [Ab] try
_ [Abm] Morales [Eb] all alone
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul to [Bb] see how an ice cream [Eb] fell
[Ab] Yes, I dug right down [Bb] to the bottom of my [Cm] soul and I tried [F] to
_ [C]
The [F] kids yelled nothing
[Bb] They called me nothing [C]
and Karp [Fm] allowed it which [Bb] really makes me burn
[Eb]
They [Gbm] were [Fm] so helpful
[Bb] They called [G] me
[C] Hopeless until I really [Bb] didn't know where else to turn and Karp kept saying Morales
I think you [F] should transfer to girls high.
You'll never be an actress never
_ Jesus [E] Christ
Went to church praying Santa [B] Maria
sent me guidance
[A] _
sent me [Am] guidance [E] on my [Gb] knees
Went to [B] church praying [E] Santa [B] Maria [Bm] help me be
Help [Am] me be [E] this pretty please _
And a [B] voice from down at the [B] bottom of my soul came up to the top of my head
And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul
_ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [E] And when you find [B] one
You'll be [Ab] an actress [Db] and I [Gbm] assure you that's what finally [E] came to pass
_ _ [Gb] Six months later.
I heard that Karp [E] had died
And [B] I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[A] _
_ [Gbm] _ _ [Abm] And cried
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [B] Cause I felt _ _ nothing
_ _ _ _ _ I _
_ _ _ _ _ Mean I didn't want him to die or anything, but the summer I turned 15
[E] I lied about my age so I could join AGVA
You know the nightclub union cuz I [Db] could make $60 a week working these strip joints
Outside of Kansas [E] City.
I worked this [Bm] one club for about eight weeks straight and I really [Gbm] became friendly with the stripper
Her name [E] was Lola Latour's [Db] Oh
_ [E] and her dynamic twin 44s
Well, she really took to me.
I mean we did share the only dressing room and she did a lot of [Gb] dressing anyway
She used to come and pick me [Gbm] up and drive me to work nights
Well, [Ab] the neighbors would all be hanging outside their [Ab] windows and [Db] she'd drive up in her big pink Cadillac
convertible And
_ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ Then I come tripping out of my house _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ When am _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ [E] I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ gonna grow [Bb] tits
_ _ If Troy Donahue could be a movie [Eb] star
_ _ [Bb] It could be a movie _ [G] _ _ [E] _ when the guys in the block saw Lola
They all wanted to [Eb] know what the story [E] was.
So I told [Abm] him about this big hot heavy romance we were having
[Gbm] But actually she was going with this little brat.
That's what my [Gb] sister was a little brat
I [Db] _
_ shaved her head.
I shaved her head. _
_ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ [Ab] _ [A] _ [B] She'd say what are you ashamed of your own mother? _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
