Arctic Monkeys - The Jeweller's Hands: chords

Cm                    Fm  Cm
Fiendish wonder in a carnivals wake,
Cm            Fm            Cm
Dull caresses once again irritate
Cm
Tread softly stranger,
     Fm               Cm                 Fm Cm
Move over toward the danger that you seek

You think excitement has receded
then the mirror distracts
The logic of the trance quickly reaches and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And weightless, your imagination runs

Chorus:
             G#                 Cm
And now it’s no one’s fault but yours
        G                   Cm
At the foot of the house of cards,
                  G#           G
You thought you’d never get obsessed
                 G7             Cm
You thought the wolves would be impressed,
              G#       Cm
And you’re a sinking stone
               G
Cos you know what it’s like to hold
               Cm
the jeweller’s hands,
         G#            G          Cm   Fm Cm Fm
That procession of pioneers, all drowned

       Cm
In the moonlight they’re more thrilling,
       Fm
Those things that he knows
       Cm
As he leads you through the grinning,
          Fm
buddled, blowers in the snow,
Cm
Watching his exit is like
Fm                            Cm   Fm Cm
falling off the ferry in the night

The inevitables gather to push you around
Any other voice makes such a punishing sound
He became laughter's assassin
Shortly after he showed you what it was

Chorus

Cm          D#          G#
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
     G        G#  G        Cm  G
I’m listening,   ready to learn
Cm             D#        G#
There’s no one here to police me,
     G        G#    G        Cm  G
I’m sinking in,  until you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate,    don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained - x3
