Am     C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh  woh oh oh woh oh

Am        C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh oh

Am     C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh  woh oh oh woh oh

Am        C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh oh

        Am            C              F
On some level I think I always understood

           Am                 C             F
That these hands of mine were clumsy not clever

      Am               C          F
And I tried to do the best that I could

             D                                 F
But try as I might I could not bring myself to hold you

       Am            C                F
It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest

          Am                  C            F
With this heart of mine thats guilty not remorseful

         Am                C            F
There is love that doesn't have a place to rest

                  D                                    F
But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulder

Am     C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh  woh oh oh woh oh

Am        C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh oh

        Am            C             F
On some level I think I always understood

       Am                C             F
That a ship could never really love an anchor

     Am           C            F
So I did the only thing that I could

                D                               F
And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor

          Am            C              F
There are times where I still wonder a-bout you

        Am             C               F
You are someone I have loved but never known

           Am            C         F
And you'll never see the reasons I had

               D                                         F
For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you

     Am            C       F
I am selfish I am broken I am cruel

     Am                  C               F
I am all the things they might have said to you

       Am            C             F
Do you ever think of me and my two hands

             D
And wondered why

                        F
They never soothed your fevers

    D
And wondered why

                F
They never tied your shoes

    D
And wondered why

                    F
They never held you gently

    D
And wondered why

                   F              E
They never had the chance to lose you

Am     C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh  woh oh oh woh oh

Am        C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh oh

Am     C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh  woh oh oh woh oh

Am        C     F
Oh woh oh oh oh oh
