The Jeweller's Hands Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Fiendish wonder
in the [Dm]carni[Am]val's wake
Dull caresses [Dm]once again irri[Am]tate
Tread softly, stranger
[Dm]Move over toward the [Am]danger that you seek
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
You think ex[Am]citement has receded
then the [Dm]mirror dis[Am]tracts
The logic of the trance
quickly [Dm]reaches [Am]and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And [Dm]weightless, your i[Am]magination runs
[Dm][Am]

[Chorus 1]
And now it's [F]no one's fault but [Am]yours
At the [E]foot of the house [Am]of cards
You thought you'd [F]never get [E]obsessed
You thought the wolves would be [Am]im pressed
And you're a [F]sinking [Am]stone
But you know [E]what it's like to hold
the [Am]jeweler's hands
That pro[F]cession of pio[E]neers [Am]all drowned
[Dm][Am]
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
In the [Am]moonlight they're more thrilling
Those [Dm]things that he [Am]knows
As he leads you through the grinning
Bubble [Dm]blowers in the [Am]snow
Watching his exit
Was like [Dm]falling off the [Am]ferry in the night
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
The in[Am]evitables gather
to [Dm]push you a[Am]round
Any other voice makes
[Dm]such a punishing [Am]sound
He became laughter's assassin
Shor[Dm]tly after he s[Am]howed you what it was
[Dm][Am]

[Chorus 2]
And now it's [F]no one's fault but [Am]yours
At the [E]foot of the house [Am]of cards
You thought you'd [F]never get [E]obsessed
You thought the wolves would be [Am]im pressed
And you're a [F]sinking [Am]stone
But you know [E]what it's like to hold
the [Am]jeweler's hands
That pro[F]cession of pio[E]neers

[Interlude 1]
all drowned
[Am][C][F][E]
[E][Dm][Am][E]
[Am][C][F][E]
[E][Dm][Am][E]

[Outro 1]
[Am]If you've a less[C]on to teac[F]h me
I'm [E]listening, [F]rea[E]dy to lea[Am]rn[E]
[Am]There's no one here [C]to polic[F]e me
I'm [E]sinking [F]in un[E]til you re[Am]turn[E]
[Am]If you've a less[C]on to teac[F]h me
Don't [E]deviate, [F]don[E]'t be afra[Am]id[E]
[Am]Without the last[C] corner [F]piece,
I can't [E]calibrate[E]
Let's [Dm]get it ing[Am]rained[E]
[Repeat and fade]
