Palm muted intro:

A     E       F#m  x2 

First Verse:

A     E       F#m
 My hands are tied, Oh I could be a victim 
A          E          F#m                           B
 When my tongue won't move, You have tied with your heartstrings 

Chorus:

A                  E                         Bm      D
 When I needed you most, I couldn't find the language 
A                  E                      Bm   D
 When I needed you more, I couldn't say a word 

Verse 2:

A     E         F#m
 My hands truly tied, Yeah I know I'm a prisoner 
A          E             F#m                           B
 When my tongue wouldn't move, You have tied with your heartstrings again 

Chorus:

A                  E                         Bm      D
 When I needed you most, I couldn't find the language 
A                  E                      Bm   D
 When I needed you more, I couldn't say a word
A                  E                         Bm      D
 When I needed you most, I couldn't find the language 
A                  E                      Bm   D
 When I needed you more, I couldn't say a word 

Bridge:

F#m       D
   One day a heap on the ground 
F#m        D
   Next day I'm so proud 
F#m        D              A          E  
   Today     I don't know             I don't know 
Bm         D
   Hey
A          E              Bm         D

Verse 3:

A       E       F#m
 Your hands are cold, That's why I try to contain you 
A        E        F#m                    B
 Now my words are cursed, Ember from the ashes 

Bridge/Outro:

F#m       D
   One day a heap on the ground 
F#m        D
   Next day I'm so proud 
Fhm       D 
   Today  I haven't got a clue 
B                           D
 Feels like a river of tears 

A        E        F#m       D   x2
