Ruston Kelly - Wicked Hands Chords

[intro]
F#m  G  Bm  A
F#m  G  Bm  A

[verse 1]
          D
It was a can of paint
        Bm
With an ironic name
       G
Black Magic shade
          A
Over the fireplace
         D
And you turned away
 Bm
As Sufjan sang
          G
Is there dignity in death
         A
If there isn't any hope left?
               Bm
But I know I tried to be
                    F#m
What I thought you needed me to be
    G
But I was becomin' somethin'
             D        A
that would never be me
             G
I heard the mating call
                     Bm
For everything that made us fall
             A
Out of the promised land
              D         Em   F#m
With bags of contraband

[chorus]
       G
I'm stranded in the desert
        Bm                A
with my empty and wicked hands
       G                               Bm   A
Just tryin' to find my way before I'm lost
       Em          F#m             G
But I cannot keep livin' with the memory
            Bm            A
Of all the heartbreak I swore that I forgot

[interlude]
F#m  G  Bm  A
F#m  G  Bm  A

[verse 2]
            D
And in the early light
         Bm
I find my enemy lines
       G
And I bend into the dream
        A
That today I will make peace
           D
With that box of things
           Bm
That's still haunting me
      G
So I take it to the trash
         A
Throw it in and I don't look back
                       Bm
'Cause I know there's more to me
         F#m
Than even I have seen
   G                               D          A
So I get up and keep on fightin' in spite of me
            G
I hear the siren call
                     Bm
For everything that makes me fall
               A
Far from the promised land
             D     Em   F#m
Lookin' for heroin

[chorus]
       G
And I wake up in the mornin'
        Bm               A
with my ugly and wicked hands
        G                                  Bm   A
I just cannot bear the weight of all I've lost
          Em         F#m            G
'Cause I cannot keep doin' all the same things
        Bm              A             F#m
And pretend like there will not be a cost

[interlude]
G  Bm  A
F#m  G  Bm  A

[bridge]
    F#m                 G              A
But all this time, I thought it was a lost fight
   F#m             G              A
To get back everything, I left behind my
         Bm        G
Days of rage and shame
    D                A
I still don't understand

[outro]
F#m           G   Bm         A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m           G   Bm         A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m           G   Bm         A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m           G   Bm         A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
