C#
I don't see you
You're not in every window I look through
    G#/C
And I don't miss you
You're not in every single thing I do
         F#
I don't think we're meant to be
            G#
And you are not the missing piece

C#
I won't hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
    G#/C
And I won't feel it
Even when I'm burstin' into flames
           F#
I don't regret the day I left
          G#
I don't believe that I was blessed
             F#                G#
I'm probably lyin' to myself, again

Chorus:
C#
I'm alone in my head
C#                       G#/C
Looking for love in a stranger's bed
G#/C
But I don't think I'll find it
       F#              G#
'Cause only you could fill this empty space
C#
I wanna tell all my friends
C#                           G#/C
But I don't think they would understand
G#/C
It's somethin' l've decided
       F#              G#
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

C#
Space, space
C#              G#/C
This empty space
G#/C
Space, space
G#/C
Thiis
       F#              G#
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

I've been drinking
I've been doin' things I shouldn't do
Overthinking
I don't know who I am without you
I'm a liar and a cheat
I let my ego swallow me
And that's why I might never see you again

Chorus

Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

C#
How could I make you love me?
C#
How could I make you love me?
G#/C
How could I make you love me?
G#/C
How could I make you love me?
F#
How could I make you love me?
G#
How could I make you love me?
C#
How could I make you love me? (space, space)
C#
How could I make you love me?
G#/C
How could I make you love me? (space, space)
G#/C
How could I make you love me?
F#
How could I make you love me?
G#
How could I make you love me?
