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