EMPTY CHORDS

[Start]

[Intro]
Bm Gmaj7 D G D Bm
           


[Verse]
G                                  
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
      G                      
Walks through the garden rows
              D            
With her bare feet laughin'
  G                                  
I never learned to count my blessings
                                D        
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
Bm                     
I walk on down the hill
Gb                                          
Through grass grown tall and brown and still
G                              D      
It's hard somehow to let go of my pain
Bm7 Bm                         Gb                          
   On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillac
G                          D              
That sinks into this field collecting rain


[Chorus]
              Gmaj7 Bm   Bm7 Gb
Will I always feel  this way  


[Inst]
D  A     G  Bm Gb        Gb7 Bm
So empty so   estranged     


[Verse]
   G                             
Of these cutthroat busted sunsets
                                          D          
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
           G                                   
If through my cracked and dusty dime store lips
G                           
I spoke these words out loud
         D          
Would no one hear me
Bm7                             
Lay your blouse across the chair
Gb7                                
Let fall the flowers from your hair
G                                   D       
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain


[Chorus]
Bm                                 Gb    
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
                             G            
To me it sounds like they're applauding us
               D         
The quiet love we've made
       A      G         Gb 
Will I always feel this way
D  A     Gmaj7 Bm Gb       
So empty so      estranged


[Solo]
Gb7 Bm G D G D Bm
          


[Verse]
G                                  
Well I looked my demons in the eyes
                               D                 
Lay bare my chest said Do your best to destroy me
G                                           
See I've been to hell and back so many times
                 D            
I must admit you kinda bore me
Bm                      Bm7                
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
Bm               Gb         
There's a lot of ways to die
G                                 D        
Yes and some already did and walk beside me


[Chorus]
Bm                                        
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Gb                    
But so many people lie
     Gmaj7                          D             
It's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me
       A      G    Bm   Bm7 Gb
Will I always feel this way  
D  A     Gmaj7 Bm Gb       
So empty so      estranged
