I try so hard to please you
C
To be the love that fills you up
Em7
I try to pour on sweet affection,
C
But I think you got a broken cup.
Em Em7
Because you can't believe I love you
C
I try to tell you that there is no doubt,
D G D Em
But as soon as I fill you with all I've got
C Em7 C D
That little break will let it run right out.
G C
I cannot make you happy.
G C
I'm learning love and money never do
C B Em
But I can pour myself out 'til I'm empty
C D
Trying to be just who you'd want me to.
G C
But I cannot make you happy
B7 Em7
Even though our love is true
D Em7 D
For there's a break in the cup that holds love
G
Inside of you.
G C G C
Em7 G
Now I begin to understand you
C
As you explain this fear you feel.
Em7
It's when you see me fall into that sorrow
C G
it makes you doubt the love is real.
G C
'Cause the lonely wind still blows through me
G C
I turn away so can't see
D G D Em
But now how could I still be so empty
C Em7 C D
With all the love that you pour on me.
G C
I guess you cannot make me happy
G C
That's a money back guarantee.
G Em Em
But you can pour yourself out 'til you're empty
Em D
Trying to be just who I'd want you to be.
G C
You cannot make me happy
B Em7
It's just the law of gravity
G Em7 D
And that break in the cup that holds love,
G
Inside of me.
F
So if you're tempted to rescue me
C G
Drowning in this quicksand up to my neck
F C
Before you grab my hand to save me
C D
Why don't you ask me if I'm finished yet.
G C
Because you cannot make me happy
G C
Not when I'm empty inside of me
B7 Em
But you can pull yourself right in here with me
Em C D
My misery'd love to have your company.
G C
We cannot trade empty for empty
B Em Em7 G
We must go to the waterfall
G D
For there's a break in the cup that holds love,
G Em7
A break in the cup that holds love,
G D/F#
A break in the cup that holds love,
Em7
Inside us all.
C Em7 C Em7 C Em C
Em7
Inside us all.
