[Intro] C Em F Am G [Verse 1] C You were looking away towards the trees Dm There was a time you used to listen closer to me Em As close as the air is to the sea C So close I could feel you breathe [Verse 2] C How we got here? I'd say quietly Dm As quietly as those same trees grew to shade Em One day at a time and further away Am Further and further, further away [Chorus] G C F Now my hands are two empty cups Am Maybe I was asking for a little too much G G7 To keep the newness from wearing off F For every start, thеre's gonna be a stop [Verse 3] C You're lеaving now through the hole of an argument Dm I guess for a while you've been looking for the exit Em You slammed the door so hard, I still hear rattling spoons C The sound of silence rings in every room [Verse 4] C The last talk left me a makeup rainbow of tears Dm Turned everything blurry, I can't see a thing from here Em I tried so hard to make myself clear Am Life can't help but interfere [Bridge] G C F You used to lean in like I was whispering Am Any excuse to get near again G I still miss the way you lean in C What happened between now and then [Chorus] C F And my hands are two empty cups Am Maybe I was asking for a little too much G G7 To keep the newness from wearing off F For every start, there's gonna be a stop [Interlude] C Em F Am G [Verse 5] C I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheek Dm There was a time when I was everything Em And I tried so hard to make myself clear Am Somehow life interfered [Out-Chorus] C F Now my hands are two empty cups Am Maybe I was asking for a little too much G G7 To keep the newness from wearing off C For every start, there's gonna be a stop F My hands are two empty cups Am Maybe I was asking for a little too much C G G7 To keep the newness from wearing off F C For every start, there's gonna be a stop
You were looking away towards the trees There was a time you used to listen closer to me As close as the air is to the sea So close I could feel you breathe How we got here, I'd say quietly As quietly as those same trees grew to shade One day at a time and further away Further and further, further away Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop You're leaving now through the hole of an argument I guess for awhile you've been looking for the exit You slammed the door so hard I still hear rattling spoons The sound of silence rings in every room That last talk left me a makeup rainbow of tears Turned everything blurry I can't see a thing from here I tried so hard to make myself clear Life can't help but interfere You used to lean in like I was whispering Any excuse to get near again I still miss the way you lean in What happened between now and then? And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheek There was a time when I was your everything And I tried so hard to make myself clear Some how life interfered And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop
