these hands by why?
i did the best i could with this one .
F C G
i wear the customary clothes of my time ,
D A# Dm F A#
like jesus did , with no reason not to die
F F7 A#
facing history , with little to no irony
F C Dm A#
like im some forgotten southern city , sherman razed
F C Dm A#
still hid under thick smoke after all these years
F F7 Dm
these hands , are my fathers hands but smaller
A#
soaked in paint thinner ,
Dm
until theyre so dry coming together ,
Gm F
they make the sound of resisting each other
Gm A# F Gm F
a shrill squeal like two moving rubber , tires touching
Gm F Gm F
hide nothing , hide nothing
