Gtr. 2: (quickly pick the chords- not sure on the pattern)
Am    Bm               C          Dm Em F
she's crossing out the details.
Em              Dm                              Am Bm
dusting off the picture frames, it's saturday.
           C               Dm    Em F      Em Dm
she's been waiting for the phone to ring.
                       Am
she's been waiting all night.
       Bm             C            Dm   Em F
but it doesn't matter who's on the line
   Em          Dm            Am  Bm
as long as the voice works.
           C             Dm       Em    F    Em Dm
but you're too scared of what you might say.
       Am              Bm         C            Dm   
so you think it out on paper, hypothetical and safer.
Em          F                    Em
while she's thumbing through her catalogues,
        Dm                                   Am Bm
picking birthday cards, her favourite stars.
              C     Dm Em   F   Em Dm
i guess she's lonelier than you.


Chorus:

Both Guitars (Strumming):
A5  B5 C5   D5     Am    
And if this box is empty

Gtr 2 (Back to picking):
  Am    Bm
..empty
   C             Dm     Em   F    
go out and find another one.
       Em       Dm
with a prettier design.
                  Am      Bm
and greater depth inside.
      C              Dm       Em       F   Em Dm
and a lid to keep it all from spilling out.

Gtr 2:
            C               G
and you can fill it up with letters.
F                            
back when things were better.
    C               G
and both of you had blinders on
    F                      Am Bm
and story books together.
           C          Dm         Em  F           Em Dm  Am Bm        
and you pretend it outweighs all the bad things.
            C               Dm       Em      F            Em Dm
and now she disconnects her phone, after the second ring.
            Am            Bm
and all the drama you can swallow.
C                Dm   Em F Em Dm   Am Bm
never check your ego.
        C        Dm       Em   F    Em Dm
i guess no one's lonelier than you.
