Human Hands
By Elvis Costello
From the album: Imperial Bedroom
C#dim = XX2323
INTRO:
Dsus4 F6
G D/F#
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Em B7
Oh darling how I miss you
C G/B
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Am7 D
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
G D/F#
With only the blue light of the TV on
Em B7
Lip reading threats and false alarms
C G/B
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
Am7 D
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
C A/C# G B7/F#
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Em Em/D A/C# A
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Cm C
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
C A/C# G G/F# Am Em
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
G D
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Em B7
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
C G
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Am7 D
Now you're part of someone else
G D Em
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
B7 C
Now you manufacture happiness
G Am D
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction
(chorus)
G D
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Em B7
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
C G Am7 D
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before
G D
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
