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