Stop The Hand

 Am             Em
You see dating's just a tool I use
                        G
to figure out that I don't love 
someone.
Am                            G  
Heart is a clock but I just sleep
                      Em           
 through my alarm.
  G

       Am                          
And now it seems I've finally found
        Bm
 someone
           Em                   
but his heart belongs to someone 
    G
else.
          Am                       
I can't stop the hand from turning 
   G                       Em     
with my arm.
                G



[Chorus 1]
Am              G                
So it's just another night I 
    Em
cannot sleep.
           Am                  
Just another flashing light I'm 
G                         Em
forced to see,
           Am          Em         
but at least I've tried. I've 
             G                     
tried so hard to close my eyes
   Em

        A      G           D   Em
and sleep through my screams.

[Verse 1]
Am                        Em
Now it seems I've lost myself.
                             G
What I want today might change as 
well.
Am                 G
Chasing my way out of Hell
       Em                        
with invisible tape on my damaged 
   G
shell
            Am                  Bm
and he really likes me too, I guess,
        Em                    
with all those nights we spent 
     G
undressed.
A                                
Hope, to him, I'm not just 
G                   Em       G
someone else.
         Am                  Bm
And we listened to the pain we 
shared
          Em                       
as we walked and talked in the cold
            G
 night air

         Am                     G 
and I told him he was filling up a
             Em             E
 void.
        Am                        
I said "Holes they can dig deeply, 
Bm
yes,
           Em             G
they can eat you up inside your 
chest so
Am                     G
listen close while I digest and
Em                     G
tell you why my eyes are red.

[Chorus 2]
Am              G                
It was just another sign I could 
     Em
not see.
        Am             G          
It was just the final time she 
                  Em
made me bleed
        Am           Em           
and she saw me cry when I was 
        G                   Em
tired of all her lies,
         A    G                Em
then she turned from me."

[Verse 2]
Em
Now the stress shows through my face
                            G
with more tension in my living 
space.
Am                G
Finally come face to face
          Em                       
with the man I thought would scare 
     G
me away
            Am                 
but we stayed up all night like 
       G
before.
         Em                        
Each story told made me think more
  G

        Am                        
that I hope that he will trust in 
G                       Em       
me someday
   G

            Am                   G
cuz I'm not just gonna lie right 
                   Em              
to his face
 G

       Am                 E       
so I hope that I don't make the 
                      Em           
same mistakes
 G



[Bridge]
        Em
But I'll try
        C
to decide
      G
something for myself
        A                        G
without someone to guide my mind
       A   Em

             C
but I'll still deny

             G               A 
that I'd be happier if I kept my 
          G           Em
mind off "why"
       C
Oh, why?
       G
Oh, why?
       A  G Em
Oh, why?

       C
Oh, why?
       G
Oh, why?
       A  G Em
Oh, why?

(Keep playing Em throughout)

[Verse 3]

           Am              G      
It was just another mask I've come
                     Em
 to be.
          Am               G       
It was just another insecurity
Em

          Am          Em          
but at least I've tried. You can't
         G                    Em
 deny that I've tried
     A    G       Em
to see objectively.
