Human Hands

C G
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Am E
Oh darling how I miss you
F C
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Dm7 G
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
C G
With only the blue light of the TV on
Am E
Lip reading threats and false alarms
F C
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
Dm7 G
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
F F#dim C E
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Am D
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Fm F
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
F#dim C Dm Am
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
C G
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Am E
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
F C
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Dm7 G
Now you're part of someone else
C G Am
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
E F
Now you manufacture happiness
C G
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction
(chorus)
C G
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Am E
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
F C Dm7 G
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before
C G
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
Am
You know I love you more than slightly
C Dm7 G
Although I've never said it like this before
