Sondre Lerche - 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
