Verse
F Gm Dm
When you laughed at my plan
F Gm Dm
And you mocked all my words
C A#
I knew then you were worse, you'd forgotten to love
A# A
In your hands, in your hands, my heart
[Verse 2]
G Bm A
And the sun was unclean
G Bm F#m
And the morning the same
G Bm
Contorting in the dark
B*
In the bedroom you made
C#m* B*
A# fuss of the stars, too bright for your eyes
A* A
In your hands, my heart
[Verse 3]
F Gm Dm
And the morning's your curse
F Gm Dm
And the sun still unwashed
C
Oh, we loved till it hurt
A#
It was crushing me, love
A#
In the night, I knew was the last
A
In your hands, in your hands, my heart
[Verse 4]
G Bm A
And, of course, you went there
G Bm F#m
Like vertigo on a bridge
G Bm B*
The river drunk howling like dogs
C#m* B* A*
And I, running on fumes, spat flames till it scarred you
A
"Fall away! Go! Find your escape route!"
[Refrain]
F Gm Dm
In your hands, in your hands,
F Gm Dm
my heart
[Verse 5]
G Bm A
When you sheltered yourself
G Bm F#m
And cut off the phone
G Bm
Well, I knew then you weren't hurt
C C#m* B* A*
You've forgotten how to love
A
love
[Verse 6]
F Gm Dm
Oh the artist shall suffer
F Gm Dm
'Cause he's scratching his back
C
Till there's blood in his nails
A# A
Well you make yourself ill with the lies that you tell
G Bm A
Still, in your hands, in your hands, my heart
G Bm F#m
My heart,
G Bm A
my heart,
G Bm F#m
my heart
G Bm A
G Bm F#m
G Bm B*
C#m* B* A# G#
