[Verse 1]
D Em7 Am
This hand of mine has a mind of its own
A# F G
It's been places I don't know
D Em7
Sometimes I feel
Am
That it's been somewhere warm
A# F G
Somewhere that I wouldn't go
[Chorus]
Em7 C
But then again
Dsus4 D
My hand is not my friend
Dsus4 D
Acting like it owns the place and then
C#7sus Cmaj7sus G
Never sleeping when I want to
C#7sus Cmaj7sus G
Always has somewhere to go to
[Verse 2]
D Em7 Am
That hand of yours has a way of getting round
A# F G
It's been seen all over town
D Em7
Whether here or there
Am
It's been sighted, biding time
A# F G
Just waiting to be found
[Chorus]
Em7 C
But then again
Dsus4 D
Your hand is not your friend
Dsus4 D C#7sus
It's got ideas that don't have much
Cmaj7sus G
To do with what you're thinking
C#7sus Cmaj7sus G
Wants no part of all your signing
[Instrumental break]
D Am A# F G
[Chorus]
Em7 C
But then again
Dsus4 D
Our hands are not our friends
Dsus4 D
They're leading lives of their own
Dsus4 D
They don't need us no more
C#7sus Cmaj7sus
Then we can want without looking
C#7sus Cmaj7sus
Can't talk without listening
C#7sus C
No need to be
