[Intro]
AYeEah.F#m..Dm  
AYeEah.A..
[Verse 1]
I was Agiven these hands; I Ecan make a fist with them
But F#mcan't understand hoDmw to get a grip with all these
APeople around; nEothing seems to stick with them
They're F#mgetting me down, and DmI pin them insensitive
When Athey ask me to Elend them a handF#m  
I put it out but then they Dmturn my hand down
[Chorus]
Oh, Awhy do I take these things arEound my little empty hAands, hands?
My empty, empty Ahands, hands
[Verse 2]
I was Agiven this heart; I Ehelp with it stopping
But I F#mcan't help it start, stDmart by just agreeing with the
APeople at large; are Ethey so unappealing?
No, they're F#mjust not that smart, and Dmsometimes it's endearing
But not Awhen I ask them to Elend me a hand
And they just F#mlook down at me like I'm some Dmhand-me-down gown
[Chorus]
Oh, Awhy do I take these things arEound my little empty hAands, hands?
My empty, empty Ahands
[Bridge]
I was Agiven these eyes; I Ecan't see the truth
But I can F#mfeel all the lies, fDmalling through the roof
They're making Apiles and piles, and aEfter I deduce
I'd say that F#mlies are in style, so Dmit's safe to assume
That if I Aask just if you'd care to Elend me a hand
You might just F#msay that you do, but really Dmnot give a damn, damn, damn, a damn
[Outro]
Oh, Awhy do I take these things aEround my little empty
WhF#my do I take these things arDmound my little empty
WhAy do I take these things arEound my little empty hAands, hands?
My empty, empty Ahands, hands
My empty, empty Ahands
AYeEah.F#m..Dm  
AYeEah.A..
