Empty From The Start

Stars falling from the sky
Buildings burning all the time
Tall rivers running wild
Stretching out for miles and miles
I think I heard a good man say
God is love and love has made us
But have you seen the news today
I have and I think God is gone away
If he was [Am7]ever there anyway
‘Cause anyone who tells you [A7they
Were born good is lying
We're just born and [Bm]we are dying
And I know it's been said but
Mothers be [Am]good to [C7]your daughters
And then they're older sons be
Good to [C7]your fathers this is all [Em]we have
This is all [Em]we are
Blood and [Bm]bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There's nothing you [A7can do honey
Nothing you [A7can do that would save me
There's nothing you [A7can do honey
Nothing you [A7can do but lately i don't mind
‘Cause I've been finding
The only thing worth loving more
Than me is loving you

You get stuck staring at the past
You get stuck looking at the
Future through a looking glass
Time is gone when time was [Am7]slow
This time is all [Em]you [A7have and [Bm]now
It's gone but now you [A7know
And I hope you [A7save a picture of me in your
Pocket when I'm gone away
And I will do the same for [Dm7]you
To tɾuly love someone is the closest
I have come to [C7]tɾuth

This is all [Em]we have this is all [Em]we are
Blood and [Bm]bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There's nothing you [A7can do honey
Nothing you [A7can do that would save me
There's nothing you [A7can do honey
Nothing you [A7can do but lately i don't mind
‘Cause I've been finding
The only thing worth loving more
Than me is loving you
