Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First day in my apartment
Just boxes on the floor
Got nothing but this ukulele
That's what I moved here for
[Pre-chorus 1]
Strumming slowly, learning daily
These four strings, they keep me sane
(Ooh, keep me sane)
[Chorus]
Four strings and empty rooms
Four strings and empty rooms
Teaching myself how to play
Four strings and empty rooms
(Ooh, empty rooms)
[Verse 2]
Every morning by the window
Playing till my fingers hurt
Looking down at busy streets below
While I practice what I learned
[Pre-chorus 2]
Strumming faster, getting better
These four strings, they speak to me
(Ooh, speak to me)
[Chorus]
Four strings and empty rooms
Four strings and empty rooms
Teaching myself how to play
Four strings and empty rooms
(Ooh, empty rooms)
[Bridge]
(La la la, la la la)
Growing stronger every day now
Finding rhythm in this place
Making music, making changes
At my very own pace
(La la la, la la la)
[Rap]
Small apartment, big ambitions
Learning chords and new traditions
Hawaiian rhythms in the air
People walking unaware
Down below while I'm up here
Making progress, crystal clear
Finding freedom in these tunes
Four strings and empty rooms
[Final Chorus]
Four strings and empty rooms
Four strings and empty rooms
Teaching myself how to play
Four strings and empty rooms
(Ooh, empty rooms)
(Ooh, empty rooms)
(Ooh, empty rooms)
