Intro: Fm
Fm Bbm
I recall when I first saw you,
C7 Fm
Walking on bridge and burning your hand,
Fm Bbm
You startled as you approached me,
C7 Fm
Then you threw little coins into my cup,
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
Fm Bbm
You said you'd read my fortune,
C7
Then you show me a few of your dance moves,
Fm
In the pouring rain,
Fm Bbm
You told me of your nightmare,
C7
Became a skeleton,
Shot the president,
Fm
Right between the eyes
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
Bbm Fm
Why do you hold my hand?
C7 Fm
Surely that must mean you do care for me
