Chords

[Intro] C G/B Am Em F [Verse 1]
C              G/B              Am     
 I'll pick you up at the same time

              Em                  F    
In the same places, the same old drive

C            G/B              Am
 We'll just talk about our day

            Em              F           
To try to fill the awkward space tonight

C                G                Am
 We'll play the songs we used to love

          Em             F        
While we try to fall in love again

c          G/B                  Am  
 We don't know who's wrong or right

         Em          F             
We don't even care enough to fight
[Chorus]
                         Em      F Am
We're going through the motions

     Am       F          Em      F Am Em
'cause we can't fix what's broken

       F               Am 
And I know it's gonna hurt

     F               Em
But darling I'll go first

     Am               B            C          Em
'cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words

    Am              B             C          Em
No I won't keep on saying those three empty words
C G/B Am Em F [Verse 2]
C             G/B           Am    Em
 We're still talking everyday

            Em               F        
I'm running out of things to say to ya

C               G/B              Am    
 What's really gonna break my heart

            Em                F      
To have to tell your little brother

C            G/B         Am
 It might be easier to stay

           Em           
But it'll never be the same, no oh no

C        G/B                  Am
 And if something doesn't change

            Em              F    
Then we'll keep on sinking further
[Chorus] Oh
                         Em      F Am
We're going through the motions, yeah

     Am       F          Em      F Am Em
'cause we can't fix what's broken

       F               Am 
And I know it's gonna hurt

     F               Em
But darling I'll go first

     Am               B            C          Em
'cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words
Those three empty words
    C6            C7
Will only make it worse

     F              C/E       G
I'm tired, I can't take anymore

        G         B
Those three empty words

    C6            C7
Will only make you worse

     F              C/E       G/B
I'm tired, I can't take anymore
[Outro]
                         Em      F Am
We're going through the motions

     Am       F          Em      F Am Em
'cause we can't fix what's broken

       F               Am 
And I know it's gonna hurt

     F               Em
But darling I'll go first

     Em7               B            C          G
I won't keep on saying those three empty words

          Em7              B            C          G
We don't have to keep on saying those three empty words

    Am              B             C          Em
I can't keep on saying those three empty words
