Tom: C
G
There are hands like lilies in white
F Am
And hands like roses in bloom
F G
There are hands that hold on too tight
Em F
And others that let go too soon
G
There are hands that wanna take what is yours
F Am
And hands that much rather share
F G
There are rough insensitive parts
Em F
And gentle hands folded in prayer
[Chorus]
G C F
Folded in prayer
G C F G
Folded in prayer
Em F G C F G
The hand is a servant of the heart
Em F
Some bring pieces together
G C F
While others break pieces apart
G C F G
Others break pieces apart
[Verse 2]
G
There are soft hands full of melancholy
F Am
And hands that tremble with fright
F G
Some little ease but passionately
Em F
While others are awkward and shy
G
A baby’s hand, so honest and small
F Am
Still carries nothing of its own
F G
Furrowed hand that has seen it all
Em F
Are calm in the evenings since glow
[Chorus]
G C F
About to let go
G C F G
About to let go
Em F G C F G
The hand is a servant of the heart
Em F
Some bring pieces together
G C F
While others break pieces apart
G C F G
Others break pieces apart
[Bridge]
Em F G
You can take mine whoever you are
Em F G
You can take mine whoever you are
[Verse 3]
G
Like the difference in people alive
F Am
So is the difference in hands
F G
Some are fluttering birds in the sky
Em F
That no living soul understands
F G
Like fluttering birds up in the sky
Em F
That no living soul understands
[Outro]
G C F
The soul understands
G C F G C
The soul understands
