Hammer

Introduction: D A D A E  D A C#m D (2 beats each)

(Verse)
D                                        A
You never think your lover’s words could kill you
        D                                   F#m
And you can’t for see the blow that is your last
           D                             A
But you’ve brought me to my knees with a blow that I believe
            C#m                            D
Has somehow paralyzed my need for fighting back

  D                                       A
I can’t pretend that they don’t know your secret
      D                                  F#m
And I can’t pretend that I don’t know it too
      D                              A
I can hear the people talking, I can feel their pity eyes
C#m                            D
Dare I say the fault is really mine
C#m                     D
Dare I say the fault is mine

(Chorus)
D              A
I wish I could tell you
D          F#m
I love you still
D              A
I gave you the hammer
      C#m                                  D
But I didn’t know that you would strike to kill

Interlude: D A D AE     D A C#m D (2 beats each)

(Verse)
       D                       A
You’re quite as I stutter over questions
      D                              F#m
Whose answers I don’t really want to know

        D
Did you whisper that you loved her,
          A
Drop your kisses on her neck
    D                            F#m
And with determination, down the wine

           D                     A
There will always be another and another choice to make

        C#m                    D
Another chance to justify your crime,
        C#m                  D
Another chance to choose the crime

(Chorus)
D              A
I wish I could tell you
D          F#m
I love you still
D              A
I gave you the hammer
      C#m                                  D
But I didn’t know that you would strike to kill
      C#m                         E
But I didn’t think that you could kill

Interlude: D A D A E  D A C#m D D (2 beats each)

(Chorus)
D              A
I wish I could tell you
D          F#m
I love you still

I gave you the hammer
      C#m                                  D
But I didn’t know that you would strike to kill


(Chorus)
D              A
I wish I could tell you
D       F#m
I never will
D              A
I gave you the hammer
      C#m                                  D
But I didn’t know that you would strike to kill
      C#m                         D
But I didn’t think that you could kill
