[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7
Empty
  F             C              Bbmaj7
I pour myself into you and you let me
     Dm             C      
Then say you're overwhelmed 
          Bbmaj7
and you resent me
                 F         
'Cause you don't know how 
           C             Bbmaj7
how to let somebody down gently
   Dm    C    Bb
Do you? Oh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        F
Never got what I needed
       C                 Bb
And my love has a ceiling
                          Dm  C
Nothing left to believe in, no
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Ooh
         F               
You want something that 
             C
I can't give anymore
Bb
Ooh
        Dm                 
I can't go back to the way 
       C
things were before
 
[Instrumental Break]
Bb   F  C    
Bb  Dm  C
 
[Verse 2]
Bb              F               
After, I’m the one who breathes 
    C              Bb
in smoke from your disaster
         Dm                
Then you say it's my fault 
C                   Bb
my heart's beating faster
        F              C     
And you ask me how I'm feeling 
        Bb
like it matters
   Dm  C    Bb
To you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        F
Never got what I needed
       C                 Bb
And my love has a ceiling
                         Dm  C
Nothing left to believe in, no
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Ooh
         F              
You want something that 
             C  
I can't give anymore
Bb
Ooh
        Dm                
I can't go back to the way 
       C          Bb
things were before
                         F     
And I can't breathe down here,
            C            Bb   
when did we get so heavy?
                  Dm              
Tell me why we're drowning still 
         C
when the lifeboat's empty
 
[Instrumental Break]
Bb  F  C    
Bb  Dm C

Ooh

You want something that

I can't give anymore

Ooh
       Dm                    
I can't go back to the way

things were before
                         F     
And I can't breathe down here, 
            C            Bb
when did we get so heavy?
                  Dm        
Tell me why we're drowning 
               C                Bb
still when the lifeboat's empty
