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: D5 -577-- , C#5 -466--,
B5 -244--.
A chord chart is at the bottom.
ENJOY.
VERSE 1
A
It's been several hours,
F#m
Since our incident
Bm
Clothes are torn, glass shattered
D5 C#5 B5 E
It was a year leading up to this event,
D5 C#5 B5 E
She had a melt down, cried wolf, and can't be trusted
A
You took the biggest knife in the kitchen you could find,
F#m
Called the police and claimed that I was trying,
Bm D E
Trying to kill you, when in fact I was trying to save your life
A
You had me trapped in my own apartment,
F#m
24 hours, dodging clenched fists,
Bm D E
Scribbling letters, bidding your friends and family farewell
CHORUS
A F#m
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Bm D E
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
A F#m
No one will understand us.
Bm D E
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
VERSE 2
A
Are you gonna be a good girl?
F#m
Can you make me that promise?
Bm
Not to lash out on me,
D5 C#5 B5 E
How is it that you made my life a living hell,
D5 C#5 B5 E
But I still find you to be irreplaceable
A
Which of my things did you sneak out last night?
F#m
In hopes to bring us together one last time
Bm D E
Ransom being the only thing that you have left
CHORUS
A F#m
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Bm D E
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
A F#m
No one will understand us.
Bm D E
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
BRIDGE
F#m D A E
Threatened to throw yourself out of the car
F#m D A E
In rush hour traffic, sixteen miles an hour.
F#m D A E
There's a better way, don't you think?
F#m D A E
Just if we wait until we get home
CHORUS 3/End
A F#m
Desperate hands and a hollow heart,
Bm D E
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me,
A F#m
No one will understand us.
Bm D E
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
END on A
