[Verse 1]
C#m
My hands are all hardened and callused
F#m
From the only way we know to live
E
So they reach out to let you keep biting
G#
When there's nothing they have left to give
C#m
My heart has accepted its beating
F#m
This tongue only knows to forgive
E
When these feet only dance to the rhythm you've chosen
G#
The mind can't remember what it is
[Chorus 1]
E
But maybe
F#m
This is how the world made me
A
The night comes to save me
E
With the mercy of a dream
B
'Cause I can't only be
C#m
A hand that needs you
[Verse 2]
C#m
The blade never cares for the handle
F#m
The lie doesn't understand truth
E
It's less of the morals and more of the lessons
G#
That keep me coming back to you
F#m B
In every book that's ever been written
E A
Even if I learned every tongue
G#
There aren't enough words to explain all the damage you've done
N.C
With your virtue and vitriol
E F#m A E
[Chorus 2]
E
But maybe
F#m
There's another world that's waiting
A
And the night will come take me
E
With the mercy of a dream
B
'Cause I have to believe
C#m
I'm more than a hand to feed you
[Outro]
C#m
My hands are all hardened and callused
F#m
There isn't much I have left to give
E
When the gravedigger reaches to bury my body
G#m
There's nothing you've left to put in
