Standard (EADGBE)
Becky loved me and I let her
Wish I could have loved her better
On the day we pulled apart she primed a time-bomb in my heart
Now there's a shadow hiding
Now there's a horseman riding
Lover of all broken things, standing waiting in the wings
Sometimes I wonder why I love and let it die
Can't give, can't live just to hold back, hold back
Chorus
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart (repeat)
You call me fraud and faker
You call me user, taker
You say I throw you scraps, prove my strength by holding back
But I shine my honour brightly
Swear my allegiance nightly
But through my hands it slips, the same old demons paint their lips
Sometimes I wonder why...
