[Verse 1]
D
It was a can of paint
Bm
With an ironic name
G
Black Magic shade
A
Over the fireplace
D
And you turned away
Bm
As Sufjan sang
G
Is there dignity in death
A
If there isn't any hope left?
Bm
But I know I tried to be
F#m
What I thought you needed me to be
G D A
But I was becomin' somethin' that would never be me
G
I heard the mating call
Bm
For everything that made us fall
A
Out of the promised land
D Em F#m
With bags of contraband.........
[Chorus]
G Bm A
I'm stranded in the desert with my empty and wicked hands
G Bm A
Just tryin' to find my way before I'm lost...
Em F#m G
But I cannot keep livin' with the memory
Bm A
Of all the heartbreak I swore that I forgot
[Interlude]
F#m G Bm A
................
F#m G Bm A

[Verse 2]
D
And in the early light
Bm
I find my enemy lines
G
And I bend into the dream
A
That today I will make peace
D
With that box of things
Bm
That's still haunting me
G
So I take it to the trash
A
Throw it in and I don't look back
Bm
'Cause I know there's more to me
F#m
Than even I have seen
G D A
So I get up and keep on fightin' in spite of me
G
I hear the siren call
Bm
For everything that makes me fall
A
Far from the promised land
D Em F#m
Lookin' for heroin.........
[Chorus]
G Bm A
And I wake up in the mornin' with my ugly and wicked hands
G Bm A
I just cannot bear the weight of all I've lost...
Em F#m G
'Cause I cannot keep doin' all the same things
Bm A F#m
And pretend like there will not be a cost
[Interlude]
G Bm A
..........
F#m G Bm A
................
[Bridge]
F#m G A
But all this time, I thought it was a lost fight
F#m G A
To get back everything, I left behind my
Bm G
Days of rage and shame
D A
I still don't understand
[Outro]
F#m G Bm A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m G Bm A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m G Bm A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F#m G Bm A
God, help me hide my wicked hands
