[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
