verse 1
G D Am Em C
Darlin' there's a river near the house where I grew up
G D C
And I think it might be moving fast enough
G D Am Em C
And there's a silence there so thick that you could stick a knife in it
G D C G
Or anything that you've been dreaming of
Pre-Chorus
Em D G
And you should know that my affections are always true
Em C Am D Dsus4 D
And my heart's got a tricky valve that beats for nobody but you
Chorus
C G
And when I decide to kill you
C D
I'll do it with my hands
C Em D
And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman
C G
My words may seem mighty hollow
C D
But don't doubt that I can
C G
'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

verse 2
G D Am Em C
Last night I found a note you wrote and left inside my room
G D C
And picked apart the words you didn't choose
G D Am Em C
I wrote out every one and then I hid them ‘round your room
G D C G
This love is bound with heart and guts and glue
Pre-Chorus
Em D G
May I say that my intentions are through and through
Em C Am D Dsus4 D
And there's a twitch in my left eyebrow that tics for nobody but you
C G
And when I decide to kill you
C D
I'll do it with my hands
C Em D
And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman
C G
My words may seem mighty hollow
C D
But don't doubt that I can
C G
'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

If I should seem distracted
Em G
Oh, you needn't be confused

'Cos darlin', you have no idea the things I'd do for you

There's a hole that's in the wall there

And I put it there for you
