Human Hands Chords by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
I've been talking [D] to the wall and it's been answering [Em] me
Oh darling, [F#] how I miss you, just [G] a mere shadow of my [D] former selfishness
[Am] I crave the silhouette of your kiss, with only the blue light of the TV on
Flip [B] reading threats and false [F#] alarms, there's a bar [G] somewhere, holding hands with himself
[Am] And a girl in a window on the riverbond
Whenever I [C#m] put my hope in you, begin [Em] to doubt that it's you that [A] I'm dreaming about
You might have to [C] draw your line of hand
All [G] I ever [Am] stood to fall into [Em] your human [D] hands
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[G] With the [D] kings and queens of the dancehall [Bm] craze
Checkmate in three moves in your head
[C] But the girls [G] don't listen to your lies [Am] anymore, now you're part [Em] of someone else
[G] On the factory [D] floor you still say, where's the action?
[B] Now you're manufactured [G] happiness
And get [D] sold on the cheap for someone's [Em]
satisfaction
[C#m] Whenever I put my blood in my [B] mouth and you begin to [Em] doubt that it's you that I'm dreaming about
[Cm] You might have to draw your line of hand
All I [G] ever stood [Am] to fall into your [Em] human [D] hands
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Em] Are you [D] tough soldiers and [Em] scare mongers?
Are you living [B] in this world sometimes [G] I wonder in between
Saying you've seen [D] too much and saying you've seen it all [G] before
Tighter and tighter I hold you [Em] tight, man
You [B] know I love you [C] more than slightly
[G] Although I [Am] never said it like [E] this before
[C] Whenever I put my blood in my mouth and you [Em] begin to doubt that it's [A] you that I'm dreaming about
[Cm] You might have to draw your line of hand
All I [G] ever stood [Am] to fall into your [B] human hands
All I ever stood [Am] to fall into your [Em] human [D] hands _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
