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