Patty Loveless - A Handful Of Dust
INTRO: C
Break us down by our elements
F G C
And you might think we failed
We're not copper for one penny or
F G C
Even iron for one nail
F C
And a dollar would be plenty
G C
To buy twenty of us
F C
Until true love is added
G C
To these handfuls of dust
CHORUS:
F C G C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F C G C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F C G Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
F C G C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
However small though our worth may be
F G C
When shared between two hearts
Is even more than it would ever be
F G C
Measured on its own apart
F C
And our half what it could be
G C
Is now twice what it's worth
F C
When true love is added
G C
To these handfuls of dust
CHORUS:
F C G C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F C G C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F C G Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
F C G C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
CHORUS:
F C G C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F C G C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F C G Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
F C G C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
