How to remove space above and below the in-line block elements? - html

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to remove space above and below my inline block elements as shown in the image.
P.S line-height doesn't remove the space.
Here is the CSS for all the elements.
nav ul li {
font-size:16px;
display:inline-block;
padding:20px;
border: 3px solid black;
}

ul has by default margin and padding, so reset it
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
header {
background: #00795f;
width: 100%;
padding: 40px 0;
/* 40px top and bottom, 0px left and right */
color: white;
text-align: center;
}
nav {
background-color: #43a286;
color: white;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
ul {
/* padding: 0; you may need only the margin */
margin: 0
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
nav ul li {
font-size: 16px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
border: 3px solid black;
}
ul li:hover {
background-color: #399077;
}
section {
line-height: 1.5em;
font-size: 1.5em;
padding: 40px;
width: 75%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<header>

When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep. Stuck in reverse. And the tears come streaming down your face. When you lose something you can't replace.When
you love someone, but it goes to waste. Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home. And ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you. And high up above or down below. When you're too in love to let it go. But if you never try you'll never know.
