[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m
When you laughed at my plan
E F#m C#m
And you mocked all my words
B A
I knew then you were worse, you'd forgotten to love
A G#
In your hands, in your hands, my heart
[Verse 2]
F# A#m G#
And the sun was unclean
F# A#m Fm
And the morning the same
F# A#m
Contorting in the dark
B*
In the bedroom you made
C#m* B*
A fuss of the stars, too bright for your eyes
A* G#
In your hands, my heart
[Verse 3]
E F#m C#m
And the morning's your curse
E F#m C#m
And the sun still unwashed
B
Oh, we loved till it hurt
A
It was crushing me, love
A
In the night, I knew was the last
G#
In your hands, in your hands, my heart
[Verse 4]
F# A#m G#
And, of course, you went there
F# A#m Fm
Like vertigo on a bridge
F# A#m B*
The river drunk howling like dogs
C#m* B* A*
And I, running on fumes, spat flames till it scarred you
G#
"Fall away! Go! Find your escape route!"
[Refrain]
E F#m C#m
In your hands, in your hands,
E F#m C#m
my heart
[Verse 5]
F# A#m G#
When you sheltered yourself
F# A#m Fm
And cut off the phone
F# A#m
Well, I knew then you weren't hurt
B C#m* B* A*
You've forgotten how to love
G#
love
[Verse 6]
E F#m C#m
Oh the artist shall suffer
E F#m C#m
'Cause he's scratching his back
B
Till there's blood in his nails
A G#
Well you make yourself ill with the lies that you tell
F# A#m G#
Still, in your hands, in your hands, my heart
F# A#m Fm
My heart,
F# A#m G#
my heart,
F# A#m Fm
my heart
F# A#m G#
F# A#m Fm
