Empty Hands

A  E  F#m  Dm
 Yeah...
A  E  A
 Yeah...

[Verse 1]
      A                   E
I was given these hands; I can make 
a fist with them
    F#m                Dm
But can't understand how to get a 
grip with all these
A               E
People around; nothing seems to 
stick with them
        F#m                  Dm
They're getting me down, and I pin 
them insensitive
     A              E             
When they ask me to lend them a 
   F#m
hand
                           Dm
I put it out but then they turn my 
hand down

[Chorus]
    A                         
Oh, why do I take these things 
   E                     A
around my little empty hands, hands?
                A
My empty, empty hands, hands

[Verse 2]
      A                  E
I was given this heart; I help with 
it stopping
      F#m                    Dm
But I can't help it start, start by 
just agreeing with the
A                    E
People at large; are they so 
unappealing?
            F#m                    
No, they're just not that smart, 
  Dm
and sometimes it's endearing
        A                  E
But not when I ask them to lend me a
 hand
             F#m                   
And they just look down at me like 
         Dm
I'm some hand-me-down gown

[Chorus]
    A                         
Oh, why do I take these things 
   E                     A
around my little empty hands, hands?
                A
My empty, empty hands

[Bridge]
      A                  E
I was given these eyes; I can't see 
the truth
          F#m                 Dm
But I can feel all the lies, falling
 through the roof
               A                   
They're making piles and piles, and
  E
 after I deduce
             F#m                   
I'd say that lies are in style, so 
Dm
it's safe to assume
         A                         
That if I ask just if you'd care to
 E
 lend me a hand
              F#m                  
You might just say that you do, but
       Dm
 really not give a damn, damn, damn,
 a damn

[Otro]
    A                         
Oh, why do I take these things 
  E
around my little empty
  F#m                        Dm
Why do I take these things around my
 little empty
  A                          E    
Why do I take these things around 
                 A
my little empty hands, hands?
                A
My empty, empty hands, hands
                A
My empty, empty hands
A  E  F#m  Dm
 Yeah...
A  E  A
 Yeah...
