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