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