Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Human Hands (Ukulele)

G                                           D
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me

Em         B
Oh darling how I miss you

    C                          G
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness

Am7                    D
I crave the silhouette of your kiss

     G                          D
With only the blue light of the TV on

Em                      B
Lip reading threats and false alarms

              C                       G
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself

      Am7                     D
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn

    C             C#dim            G          B
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt

Em                     A
That it's you that I'm dreaming about

     Cm                    C
Do I have to draw you a diagram?

    C#dim       G               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                       B
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?"

        B                C
Now you manufacture happiness

             G                               D
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

G                        D
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers

Em                           B
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

G                     D
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly

Em
You know I love you more than slightly

         G          Am7               D
Although I've never said it like this before
