Thanks, michael michael@magick.net Lyrics from: http://east.isx.com/~schnitzi/ec/albums.html Chords from the songbook, mostly +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Human Hands By Elvis Costello >From the album: Imperial Bedroom C#dim = XX2323 INTRO: Dsus4 F6 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 (chorus) 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 before 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 (chorus) ++++++++++++++++++++++++ michael p mccullough ++++ Klamath Falls OR # 1.541.884.3278 michael@magick.net michaelm@cdsnet.net all moanday, tearsday, wailsday, thumpsday, frightday, shatterday (joyce/FW) http://www.magick.net/~michael/ http://www.magick.net/~michael/music.html
