SOMETHING I CAN HOLD IN MY HANDS
PERFORMED BY THE SMITH STREET BAND
C
Stories from southern explorers tell of vastly open sky
All I see is sweat and concrete, I avert my eyes
Am
They put scaffolding, warning signs and things we used to climb
G F
Fences around fences and told us to say inside
C
We enter city nights wide eyed
Am
Like lambs to the slaughter
G
And around every corner someone's son's putting hands on
F
Someone else's daughter
C
And the fisherman catch chemicals
Their boats fill up on rain
Am
We fill up on things we can't explain
G F
And we laugh, as we trickle down the drain
As we trickle down
C
C
And I grew up not far from here but now nothing's the same
Am
Curiosity is killing me as my nine lives turn to eight
G
We have nothing we have love, we share each other's pain
F
And I've got plans for you and me, our lives are gonna change
C
And my fathers a hero so I follow in his path
Am
Just by endless words of wisdom
Em
Sometimes I live to see her laugh
G
When I was young wanted to destroy everything I made
F
Now I'm old, I'm jaded but at least I'm not the same
C
And every inch of me is always itching unless I'm on a
Am
stage. And I have years that pass like
G
minutes for the plans that I have made, To flourish to
F
fruition and my debts will get payed
And we live
C
And we live and breathe and want and need
Am
Now I smiling when I
G
wake. For the first time in
F
my life I'm smiling when I wake and
C
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
Am
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
G
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
F
C
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
Am
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
G
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
F
And here it is
C
All I ever needed was better timing and plans
C
All I ever needed was someone like you
F
And all my life I known this is exactly what I should do
C
C
Not just sit in my own skin
C
And I've never been as happy as
F
here. As happy as
C
here
F C
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
Am G
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands yeah
F
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
F
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands

All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
