[Verse 1]
G                 D              Am          Em     C
Darlin' there's a river near the house where I grew up
      G                 D           C
And I think it might be moving fast enough
              G                D                    Am      Em       C
And there's a silence there so thick that you could stick a knife in it
   G             D           C        G
Or anything that you've been dreaming of


[Pre-Chorus]
               Em           D                     G
And you should know that my affections are always true
       Em                   C          Am                   D  Dsus4 D
And my heart's got a tricky valve that beats for nobody but you


[Chorus]
C          G    
And when I decide to kill you
C       D
I'll do it with my hands
C                                             Em  D
And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman
C            G
My words may seem mighty hollow
C                      D
But don't doubt that I can
C                                     G
'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

[Verse 2]
     G               D                  Am     Em      C
Last night I found a note you wrote and left inside my room
    G                D                C
And picked apart the words you didn't choose
  G               D              Am        Em         C
I wrote out every one and then I hid them ‘round your room
     G                  D         C        G
This love is bound with heart and guts and glue


[Pre-Chorus]
      Em            D                        G
May I say that my intentions are through and through
        Em                   C         Am                   D  Dsus4 D
And there's a twitch in my left eyebrow that tics for nobody but you

[Chorus]
C          G    
And when I decide to kill you
C       D
I'll do it with my hands
C                                             Em  D
And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman
C            G
My words may seem mighty hollow
C                      D
But don't doubt that I can
C                                     G
'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

[Bridge]
   Am            Em    C
If I should seem distracted
        Em         G
Oh, you needn't be confused
     Em                G           D     
'Cos darlin', you have no idea the things I'd do for you
        D                  Em     C 
There's a hole that's in the wall there
      Em               G
And I put it there for you
     Em               G           D          C     G
'Cos darlin' you have no idea the things I'd do to you


[Chorus]
C          G    
And when I decide to kill you
C       D
I'll do it with my hands
C                                             Em  D
And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman
C            G
My words may seem mighty hollow
C                      D
But don't doubt that I can
C                                     G
