[Intro]
N.C. [Verse]
C You were looking away towards the trees There was a time you used to
Dm
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 As quietly as those
Dm
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 Maybe I was asking for a
Am
Little too much G To keep the newness from wearing off For every start,
F
Thеre's gonna be a stop [Verse]
You're lеaving now through the
C
Hole of an argument I guess for a while you've been
Dm
Looking for the exit You slammed the door so hard,
Em
I still hear rattling spoons C The sound of silence rings in every room [Verse]
C The last talk left me a
Makeup rainbow of tears Turned everything blurry,
Dm
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 You used to lean in like
F

C F And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a
Am
Little too much G To keep the newness from wearing off For every start,
F
There's gonna be a stop [Interlude]
C Em F Am G [Verse]
C I was always a sucker for
Your wrist at my cheek There was a time when
Dm
I was everything And I tried so hard to
Em
Make myself clear Am Somehow life interfered [Out]
C F Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a
Am
Little too much G To keep the newness from wearing off For every start,
C
There's gonna be a stop F My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a
Am
Little too much C G To keep the newness from wearing off For every start,
F C
There's gonna be a stop
