Too many hands 
 F             C                 
carving up the sky 
      C            G   C        G                        
and leaving their mark in the sand.

Our destiny moves 
 
     F             C  G  Am         
 
no matter where we stand.

   Too many hands. 
          C         G                     
There's dust in my eyes 
  F            C                             
poison in my brain 
      C         G           G C G                            
an ocean that runs through my veins. 
     C           G                          
But here in my chest 
         F                  C   G  Am                            
there's a feeling I don't understand. 
  G        C                             
Too many hands. 
  G                             
Here on the highest ground 
          F                C G   
you can see how far we've gone. 
 Am   Em           F           G                            
One voice cries echoes on and on. 
  C        G                             
Far away gone 
          F            C G Am                              
I'll be hiding from the plans 
  G           C                           
of too many hands.

 Traces of history 
      F           C G                         
appear across the sky. 
   Am  Em          F               G                           
 Lay down now and let your spirit fly.

Too many hands

 fade away with time.

 they're losing themselves in the plan. 
 C          G                             
I offer my voice

 hear me if you can.

Too many hands

Too many hands.
