Elvis Costello - Hand In Hand

great tune , like the rest of the album .

D A ( or D/A )
no , don’t ask me to apologise .
D A
i won’t ask you to forgive me .
D D/C# Bm A
if i’m gonna go down ,
E ( A/E ) A
you’re gonna come with me
F#m
you say ’why don’t you be a man about it ,
Bm
like they do in the grown – up movies?’
F#m
but when it comes to the other way around ,
A E A
you say you just wanna use me . oh ,
G
you sit and you wonder whether
Bm
it’s gonna be syndicated .
G
you sit with your knees together .
A E A G
all the time your breath is baited .

D A D
hand in hand .

no , don’t ask me to apologise .
i won’t ask you to forgive me .
if i’m gonna go down ,
you’re gonna come with me

don’t you know i got the bully boys out
changing someone’s facial design ,
sitting with my toy room lout ,
polishing my precious china

don’t you know i’m an animal?
but don’t you know i can’t stand up steady?
but you can’t show me any kind of hell
that i don’t know already .

hand in hand .

no , don’t ask me to apologise .
i won’t ask you to forgive me .
if i’m gonna go down ,
you’re gonna come with me

D A G D A G D A G
hand in hand , hand in hand , hand in hand

D A D D A D D A D
hand in hand , hand in hand , hand in hand . . .
