A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I'm the [Am]band in a show
?Bout a man holding hands
with [G]his [F]wife[G]
On a ther[Am]apist couch [G]with his
[Am]face to the ground
After fucking around count[G]less [F]nights

[Verse 2]
[G]And there's this one[F] episode
Close-up cameras cameras
were showing [G]him crying
His red [Dm]head [F]and his red [G]eyes

[Verse 3]
I'm the [Am]band in a show
?Bout a boy being buried [G]alive
From his head [Am]to his
toes by a criminal
But with a sensitive soul,
with a set of [G]raccoon eyes

[Verse 4]
And there's this [F]scene in the show
When a hustler knows he's gonna [G]die
The [Dm]ground opens
[F]and he [G]climbs inside

[Verse 5]
[C]And as he speaks his last line
[G]A thought falls from his mind
[Dm]And I pick it up and write[F]
it through the [G]TV
Oh, [Dm]oh, [F]is there a h[G]and to
take hold of the [C]scene?

[Verse 6]
[C]I'm [Dm]a ma[G]n in[F] a[G] dre[Am]am
And they're dancing in front of my [G]eyes
Is the queen in[Am]formed of the flaws
With the eyes all got odd and
rumpled into her [G]spine

[Verse 7]
[G]She rises up like [F]a young
group from a heart
Like a claw splits apart like a jaw,
like an [G]eye
And [Dm]she asks m[F]e with a sigh
[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]We were so far from right
[G]We were using the fig[Dm]ht
We were letting the light
[F]weaken it's [G]beam
Oh, [Dm]oh, [F]is there a han[G]d to take

[Interlude 1]
hold of the scene?
[C][Dm][G][F]

[Verse 9]
I [C]wanted to smile like a [Dm]glisten
ing shot of a kiss
That's as sharp as a [G]knife, the day ex[F]pires
In [C]the dry, cracked,
[Dm]trembling lips [Incomprehensible]
But this get[G]s inside
I lift them [F]up to [C]you,
I'd like to bear [Dm]witness [G]to

[Verse 10]
Our [G]life that is fine
[C]And is filling [Am]the c[G]ryingest eyes
Gra[Am]cing each face that
is making the waste
That is broken as one's fairly [G]fly

[Verse 11]
[F]Love that is in us
Of that ol' cynical covetest, can
[Am]cero[F]us vibe[G]
And a [Dm]beauty [F]that annih[G]ilates all lif[C]e

[Verse 12]
Like it's lived in these night[G]s,
holding your hatred tight
[Dm]Like a sign that[F] should
[Incomprehensible] you strong
[C]When the doors are shut tig[G]ht,
I will dream you tonight
[Dm]And my dream will just sweep[F] you along

[Verse 13]
[C]When all the fires are fanned
[G]We'll shout you our pla[Dm]ns
We're too weak to [F]stand
on our [G]two feet
Oh, [Dm]oh, [F]is there a han[G]d to take hold of

[Outro 1]
the scene?
