Kevin Devine – This Box Is Empty (Guitar)

      G                C   Dm  F
She's crossing out the details

    Em              Dm                             
And dusting off the picture frames, it's saturday

G                          Dm       F    C  Dm
She's been waiting for the phone to ring

Dm                     Am
She's been waiting all night

               G      C            Dm  F
But it doesn't matter who's on the line

   C           Dm          Am  G
As long as the voice works

           C             Dm             F   C  Dm
But you're too scared of what you might say

       Am              G          C            Dm
So you think it out on paper, hypothetical and safer

            F                    C
While she's thumbing through her catalogues

        Dm                              Am
Picking birthday cards, her favourite stars

G             C   Dm        F   C Dm G Am
I guess she's lonelier than you

Am
And if this box is empty

C                          Dm F
We'll have to find another one

       C          Dm
With a prettier design

                Am  G
A greater depth inside

      C              D                 F  C  Dm
And a lid to keep it all from spilling out

            C               G
And you can fill it up with letters

F
Back when things were better

    C               G            F
And both of you had blinders on.(?)

                   Am   G  
And story books together

C          Dm            F       C  Dm  Am  G      
And you outweigh all the bad things

            C               Dm               F        C  Dm
And now she disconnects her phone, after the second ring

            Am             G
And all the trauma you can swallow

C                Dm F  C  Dm
Never check your ego

G       C        Dm            F C Dm Am
I guess no one's lonelier than you

Am  G  C    Dm     F C Dm
And if this box is empty

Am  G  C    Dm     F C Dm
And if this box is empty

Am  G  C    Dm     F C Dm
And if this box is empty

Am  G  C    Dm     F C Dm
And if this box is empty
