Hand Cannot Erase by Steven Wilson
Hand Cannot Erase
The middle sections are basically messing around with G#m, C#m, E and A.
E C#m
Together we
E A
Have this love
E C#m
Even so
E A
It's not enough
A E C#m
Bruised and burned
G#m A
We won't loose heart
A E C#m
And just because
E A
Life gets hard
G#m A C#m E G#m
Writing lying e-mails to our friends back home
G#m A C#m E G#m
Feeling guilty if we sometimes wanna be alone
A C#m B A E
Hand cannot erase this love
A C#m B A E
Hand cannot erase this love
A C#m
And a love like this
B A
Makes us strong
A C#m
We laugh it off
B A
If things go wrong
G#m A E
It's not you, forgive me if i find i need more space
G#m A E G#m
Cause trust means we don't have to be together everyday
A C#m B A E
Hand cannot erase this love
A C#m B A E
Hand cannot erase this love
