From the album The Brutalist Bricks (2010)
Intro:
A  Em  G
A  Em  G
A
(verse)
DThe industry's out of touBch
AThe means of production are Emnow in the hands of the Gworkers
ABut I still want to be guEmided by your expert hands
AOh, lay your expert haEmnds on me
(chorus)
AAnd I, I would listen while you Emplayed me through my Gfears
AAnd I, I would whisper just to mEmake you come nGear
AAnd I'd watch every gesture while you pEmlay the Kay Gmirrors
AOh, I, I want your hands here
(repeat verse chords)
The new millennium's tough
For some more than others, a ridiculous understatement
But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes
Oh, cast an eye upon me
(repeat chorus chords)
And I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing
And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing
And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in
Oh, I, I want your eyes here
(bridge)
F#I feel danger gErowing
A storm's dropping branches Bin my path
Only danger where I'm F#going
Will Gyou be a stranger when F#I gC#et F#back?
(repeat verse chords)
We strive to survive causing least suffering possible
The Flux of Pink Indians gave me words for that
But I still want your heart beating on mine
But oh, have I been beating on your heart?
(repeat chorus chords)
'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears
And I, I would whisper just to make you come near
And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors
Oh I, I want your hands here
And I'd drive and talk to you about all this and nothing
And I'd still give it all to give up all but one thing
And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in
Oh I, I want your eyes here
(outro)
             E  AI want your eyes here
             E  AAtivan eyes, dear

The industry's out of touch

A Em G

The means of production are now in the hands of the workers

A Em

But I still want to be guided by your expert hands

A Em

Oh, lay your expert hands on me

(chorus)

A Em G

And I, I would listen while you played me through my fears

A Em G

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near

A Em G

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors

Oh, I, I want your hands here

(repeat verse chords)

The new millennium's tough

For some more than others, a ridiculous understatement

But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes

Oh, cast an eye upon me

(repeat chorus chords)

And I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing

And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing

The Flux of Pink Indians gave me words for that

But I still want your heart beating on mine

But oh, have I been beating on your heart?

(repeat chorus chords)

'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors

Oh I, I want your hands here

And I'd drive and talk to you about all this and nothing

And I'd still give it all to give up all but one thing

And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in
