[Intro]
  G#m    E   F#   G#m(4x)
[Verse]
Oh G#mAndy I’m afraid I Edon’t know what I’m F#made of anyG#mmore
Can’t make G#msense of all these Eshatterlings upon the F#bedroom floG#mor
There’ll be no G#msleeping here, just Eblurs of sF#orrow through the open G#mdoor
Shoulda G#mwarned those boys aEbout me, shoulda F#warned those G#mboysE  F#  
I never G#mmean to but someEhow I always sF#pill the loving G#mcup
It’s in some G#mpassionate exEchange, it’s in the F#way i don’t let G#mup
Cannot G#mtrust myself in Elove, seems I F#always fuck it G#mup
Better G#mwarn those boys aEbout me, you better F#warn those G#mboys
[Chorus]
’Cause I bEruise them, every G#mone
There’s a F#hole in the palm of my Elove
I cEut them; they G#mrun
Through the F#hole in the palmE  
of my lG#move
[Solo] 
  G#m    E   F#   G#m(4x)
[Verse]
My first G#mlove wouldn’t tell me Ewhy he changed his F#mind about our G#mplans
Some vicious G#mword I spoke just Eburned the gold right F#off the wedding G#mband
Kept it to G#mhimself and Enow the ash is F#flying through my hG#mands
Shoulda warned that boy aEbout meF#  G#m  
And G#mAndy, I’m afraid this sEtory’s gonna F#play out like the G#mrest
I’ll takG#me this broken bird and Ehold him to my F#hopeful, heaving cG#mhest
Sing the G#mmountain down while EGod remains obF#lique and unimG#mpressed
Shoulda warned that boy aEbout meF#  G#m  
(Repeat Chorus and Solo)
Should they G#mlock me up, oh EAndy, would you F#throw away the G#mkey
Let’s not G#mtalk about the Egirl I was and the F#wife I’ll never G#mbe
Let ’em G#mcut the sword from Eunderneath my F#tongue and set me G#mfree
Say G#msomething good aEbout me, say F#something G#mgood
[Chorus]
Though I bEruise them, every G#mone
There’s a F#hole in the palm of my Elove
I cEut them; they G#mrun
Through the F#hole in the palm of my lEove
There’s a Esword under my G#mtongue
And a F#hole in the palmE  
of my lG#move
[Solo] 
  G#m    E   F#   G#m(4x)
And Andy, onG#me more thing, I’m Eleaving this old F#violin to G#myou
For all those G#measy nights and Eemails and the F#honest talking-G#mto
For every G#mlie I told I Enever played a F#note that wasn’t G#mtrue
That’s one gG#mood thing aEbout me, the F#one good G#mthing
[Chorus]
'Cause I Ebruise them, every G#mone
There’s a F#hole in the palm of my Elove
I cEut them; they G#mrun
Through the F#hole in the palm of my lEove
There’s a Esword under my G#mtongue
And a F#hole in the palm of my Elove
Can’t Esave a single G#mone
With a F#hole in the palm E  
Of my lG#move
[Outro] 
  G#m    E   F#   G#m(4x)

[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

[Outro]

G#m E F# G#m
