[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
