A                     G#m       
When I get back from a long flight 
E 
You said you'd meet me there 
F#m                          A            C#m 
I've been tripping off constellations and stars 

A                       G#m 
Found you at home, what was our home 
             E 
With another man, oh man 
F#m     A                          C#m 
            Been keeping you in my heart 

A                 G#m 
And so I whisper into your ear 
E 
What are you thinking 'bout? 
F#m     A                          C#m 
            You just looked up at the stars 

A                 G#m 
And so I whisper into your ear 
E 
Who are you thinking 'bout? 
F#m     A                 C#m 
            It couldn't be me 


A                            
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, 
E 
Without the rivers to tend. 
              A 
Because you remember our love was true, 
                      C#m 
But you just needed a hand, 

A 
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, 
E 
Without yourself to defend. 
              A 
You know you hurt me so bad, 
                         C#m 
Just 'cause you needed a hand. 

A             
And I went off and saw things I've never seen, 
E 
I really wanted you there. 
         A 
But you ruined what was love 
                         C#m 
Just 'cause you needed a hand 
                         A 
Just cause you needed a hand 


A                       G#m 
This is the way that it all falls. 
E 
This is how I feel, this is what I need 
F#m               A 
You, by me, right here, by me, 
      C#m 
Right now. 

A                 G#m 
And so I whisper into your ear 
E 
What are you thinking 'bout? 
F#m     A                          C#m 
            You just looked up at the stars 

A                 G#m 
And so I whisper into your ear 
E 
Who are you thinking 'bout? 
F#m     A                 C#m 
            It couldn't be me 

A                            
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, 
E 
Without the rivers to tend. 
              A 
Because you remember our love was true, 
                      C#m 
But you just needed a hand, 

A 
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, 
E 
Without yourself to defend. 
              A 
You know you hurt me so bad, 
                         C#m 
Just 'cause you needed a hand. 

A             
And I went off and saw things I've never seen, 
E 
I really wanted you there. 
         A 
But you ruined what was love 
                         C#m 
Just 'cause you needed a hand 
                         A 
Just cause you needed a hand 


Just 'cause you needed a hand.
