G D Em Bm C C C C


[Verse 1]

G              D              Em     
 I'll pick you up at the same time
              Bm                  C    C C C
In the same places, the same old drive
G            D              Em
 We'll just talk about our day
            Bm              C           C C C
To try to fill the awkward space tonight
G                D                Em
 We'll play the songs we used to love
          Bm             C         C C C
While we try to fall in love again
G           D                  Em  
 We don't know who's wrong or right
         Bm          C             C C C
We don't even care enough to fight


[Chorus]

                         G      D Em 
We're going through the motions
     Em       D          G      D Em G
'cos we can't fix what's broken
       D               Em 
And I know it's gonna hurt
     C               G
But darling I'll go first
     Em               B            C          G
'cos I won't keep on saying those three empty words
    Em              B             C          G
No I won't keep on saying those three empty words

[Verse 2]

G             D           Em
 We're still talking everyday
            Bm               C        C C C
I'm running out of things to say to ya
G               D              Em
 What's really gonna break my heart
            Bm                C     C C C
To have to tell your little brother
G            D          Em
 It might be easier to stay
           C           C     C      C   C
But it'll never be the same, no ohh no
G        D                  Em
 And if something doesn't change
            Bm              C      C C C
Then we'll keep on sinking further


[Chorus]

Ohh...                         G      D Em 
We're going through the motions
     Em       D          G      D Em G
'cos we can't fix what's broken
       D               Em 
And I know it's gonna hurt
     C               G
But darling I'll go first
     Em               B            C          G
'cos I won't keep on saying those three empty words


[Bridge]

        G         B
Those three empty words
     Em            G
Will only make it worse
     C              G       D
I'm tired, I can't take anymore
        G         B
Those three empty words
     Em            G
Will only make it worse
     C              G       D
I'm tired, I can't take anymore


[Outro]

                         G      D Em 
We're going through the motions
     Em       D          G      D Em G
'cos we can't fix what's broken
       D               Em 
And I know it's gonna hurt
     C               G
But darling I'll go first
     Em               B            C          G
'cos I won't keep on saying those three empty words
          Em              B            C          G
We don't have to keep on saying those three empty words
    Em              B             C          G
No I won't keep on saying those three empty words
