Empty Cups Chords by Amanda Shires

[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
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
                        
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
