---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 CHORD CHART: A: 577655 (for verse) A: -02220 (for chorus) F#m: 244222 Bm: -24432 D: --0232 E: 022100 D5: -577-- C#5: -466-- B5: -244--
