[Intro]
E Esus4 E Esus4
[Verse 1]
E
I've an image in my pocket
E
Of some dark demon
E
That temptation brought to life
E
And it chokes all of my breath out
E
I'm scratching and screaming
E
'Til morning comes to night
[Chorus]
A
Place your hand
E
My body will decide
A
Place your hand
G E
My anger will subside
[Verse 2]
E
There are fragments of possessions
E
Shards of past relations
E
Splintering my skin
E
A fear so black and hollow
E
It can suffocate creation
E
And refuse to let you in
[Chorus]
A
Place your hand
E
My body will decide
A
Place your hand
G E
My anger will subside
[Bridge]
E7
And they speak to me like prophets in my dreams
E7
Speak to me like prophets in my dreams
Am E Am E
Shouting like prophets in my dreams
[Verse 3]
E
Sometimes I think it's easy
E
Too easy for the living
E
To receive the promised land
E
Can flesh provide the answer?
E
The reason for sensation?
E
Justify your hand
[Chorus]
A
Place your hand
E
My body will decide
A
Place your hand
G E
My anger will subside
