_ [Am] _ I think I always [F] understood, [Am] is that these hands of mine were clumsy not [F] clever, _ [Am] and
I tried to do the best that I [F] could, but try as I [D] might I couldn't bring myself [F] to hold you.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Am] It's a secret I keep tucked inside [F] my chest, [Am] with this heart of mine that's guilty not [F] remorseful.
[Am] There is love that doesn't have a place [F] to rest, but who [D] would have buried you if it
had settled on [F] your shoulders?

[Am] On some level I think I always [F] understood, [Am] that a ship could never really love [F] an anchor,
[Am] so I did [C] the only thing that I [F] could, [C] and [D] severed the ropes that used to sail [F] from my harbor. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Am] There are times when [C] I still wonder [F] about you, _ [Am] you are someone I have loved [F] but never
known, [Am] and you'll never see the reasons I [F] had for keeping [D] my claws away when they were
close [F] enough to hurt you.
[Am] I am selfish, [C] I am broke, and I [F] am cruel, [Am] I am all the things [C] they might have said [F] to you.
_ Do you [C] ever think of me in [F] my two hands?
And wonder [D] why they never [F] sewed you seamers, _ [D] and wonder why they never tied [F] your shoes,
[D] and wonder why they never [F] held you gently, _ [D] and wonder why they [Am] never [F] had the chance to [E] lose you. _ _ _
