[Intro]
G#m E F# G#m (4x)
[Verse]
G#m E F# G#m
Oh Andy I’m afraid I don’t know what I’m made of anymore
G#m E F# G#m
Can’t make sense of all these shatterlings upon the bedroom floor
G#m E F# G#m
There’ll be no sleeping here, just blurs of sorrow through the open door
G#m E F# G#m E F#
Shoulda warned those boys about me, shoulda warned those boys
G#m E F# G#m
I never mean to but somehow I always spill the loving cup
G#m E F# G#m
It’s in some passionate exchange, it’s in the way i don’t let up
G#m E F# G#m
Cannot trust myself in love, seems I always fuck it up
G#m E F# G#m
Better warn those boys about me, you better warn those boys
[Chorus]
E G#m
’Cause I bruise them, every one
F# E
There’s a hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
I cut them; they run
F# E
Through the hole in the palm
G#m
of my love
[Solo]
G#m E F# G#m (4x)
[Verse]
G#m E F# G#m
My first love wouldn’t tell me why he changed his mind about our plans
G#m E F# G#m
Some vicious word I spoke just burned the gold right off the wedding band
G#m E F# G#m
Kept it to himself and now the ash is flying through my hands
E F# G#m
Shoulda warned that boy about me
G#m E F# G#m
And Andy, I’m afraid this story’s gonna play out like the rest
G#m E F# G#m
I’ll take this broken bird and hold him to my hopeful, heaving chest
G#m E F# G#m
Sing the mountain down while God remains oblique and unimpressed
E F# G#m
Shoulda warned that boy about me
(Repeat Chorus and Solo)
G#m E F# G#m
Should they lock me up, oh Andy, would you throw away the key
G#m E F# G#m
Let’s not talk about the girl I was and the wife I’ll never be
G#m E F# G#m
Let ’em cut the sword from underneath my tongue and set me free
G#m E F# G#m
Say something good about me, say something good
[Chorus]
E G#m
Though I bruise them, every one
F# E
There’s a hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
I cut them; they run
F# E
Through the hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
There’s a sword under my tongue
F# E
And a hole in the palm
G#m
of my love
[Solo]
G#m E F# G#m (4x)
G#m E F# G#m
And Andy, one more thing, I’m leaving this old violin to you
G#m E F# G#m
For all those easy nights and emails and the honest talking-to
G#m E F# G#m
For every lie I told I never played a note that wasn’t true
G#m E F# G#m
That’s one good thing about me, the one good thing
[Chorus]
E G#m
'Cause I bruise them, every one
F# E
There’s a hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
I cut them; they run
F# E
Through the hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
There’s a sword under my tongue
F# E
And a hole in the palm of my love
E G#m
Can’t save a single one
F# E
With a hole in the palm
G#m
Of my love
