Chord Empty Cups by Amanda Shires

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
