Desperate Hands - Jarrod Gorbel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: adslam3
This is the first song off of the "bruises from your bad dreams" EP.
For the verses, you should play the A like a barre chord (577655).
I've seen Jarrod use an open A (-02220) for the chorus.
The chords ending in "5" are just power chords: -577-- , -466--,
B5 -244--.
A chord chart is at the bottom.
ENJOY.
VERSE 1
It's been several hours,
Since our incident
Clothes are torn, glass shattered
It was a year leading up to this event,
She had a melt down, cried wolf, and can't be trusted
You took the biggest knife in the kitchen you could find,
Called the police and claimed that I was trying,
Trying to kill you, when in fact I was trying to save your life
You had me trapped in my own apartment,
24 hours, dodging clenched fists,
Scribbling letters, bidding your friends and family farewell
CHORUS
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
No one will understand us.
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
VERSE 2
Are you gonna be a good girl?
Can you make me that promise?
Not to lash out on me,
How is it that you made my life a living hell,
But I still find you to be irreplaceable
Which of my things did you sneak out last night?
In hopes to bring us together one last time
Ransom being the only thing that you have left
CHORUS
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
No one will understand us.
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
BRIDGE
Threatened to throw yourself out of the car
In rush hour traffic, sixteen miles an hour.
There's a better way, don't you think?
Just if we wait until we get home
CHORUS 3/End
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
No one will understand us.
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
