IntroD...Bm....F#m...
F#m.....E...A.
D...Bm....F#m...
F#m.....D...E.Verse 1I never hDad a pBmlace toF#m call my own
And slept so F#mmany nigEhts out Aall alone
I spent so mDany houBmrs slowly F#mbreaking in
And finally foF#mund someonDe who'd lEet me in
But if I saDid too muBmch, pleaseF#m let me know
It wouldn't F#mbe the fEirst time AI've been told
I got this dDarkened tBmongue from tF#mhis bitter cold
Needed a F#mlittle lDight to fEollow home

Pre-ChorusI'd tip-toe pC#mast the liBmghts
I'd F#mhit the glow
Another F#msilent niEght
FAound no one home
This bric-a-brC#mac has liBmfe that sF#momeone knows
A pit-er-F#mpat, of liAfe thatE I've been shownChorusSo I sit C#mon my haBmnds now..F#m...
Sit on my hands now
Sit on F#mmy haEnds now
When youA leave
I sit on C#mmy haBmnds now.F#m...
Sit on my hands now
Sit on F#mmy hEands
A littl? tAhief
Post-ChorusBmI knowA, I've been gone..E.
But I'vD? been here aAll aloF#mng...
HDidden in the tAhings you keep.E.
TrDeasures that youA hid and F#mburied deepVerse 2But if I said too mBmuch, pleaseF#m let me know
It wouldn't be the fEirst time IA've been told
I got this C#mdarkened Bmtongue froF#mm this bitter cold
Needed a lF#mittle ligAht to folElow home
I couldn't cF#mount the wiBmndows oF#mpen doors
FoF#motprints through the gaErden, 'cAross muddy floors
Another Dpack of BmNewports, F#mcredit cards
The tF#mhings left form a Echildhood wAanting moreChorusTill I sit on my hF#mands now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my hEands now
When you lAeave
I sit on my hanF#mds now
Sit on my hands now
Sit on my Ehands
A little tAhiefPost-ChorusAnd DI know AI was gone..E.
But DI was here aAll aF#mlong
HiDdden in the tAhings you keep.E.
TreDasures that you wAent and bF#muried deep in the drawer
ID know, AI've been wrong.E.
But DI was barely hAolding F#mon.
HiDdden in the thAings you keep..E.
TDreasures now forbAidden, bF#muried deep in the drawer
F#m...GavEe you my life
Gave you my heC#mart...D.
Gave youF#m my soul
Deep in theF#m darkened
When IE saw your light
I know I C#mwas home
But DI'm aF#mll alone now
