Hammer

Hammer by Marie Hines Tab Introduction: (2 beats each) (Verse) You never think your lover's words could kill you And you can't for see the blow that is your last But you've brought me to my knees with a blow that I believe Has somehow paralyzed my need for fighting back I can't pretend that they don't know your secret And I can't pretend that I don't know it too I can hear the people talking, I can feel their pity eyes Dare I say the fault is really mine Dare I say the fault is mine I wish I could tell you I love you still I gave you the hammer But I didn't know that you would strike to kill Interlude: (2 beats each) (Verse) You're quite as I stutter over questions Whose answers I don't really want to know Did you whisper that you loved her, Drop your kisses on her neck And with determination, down the wine There will always be another and another choice to make Another chance to justify your crime, Another chance to choose the crime I wish I could tell you I love you still I gave you the hammer But I didn't know that you would strike to kill But I didn't think that you could kill Interlude: (2 beats each) I wish I could tell you I love you still I gave you the hammer But I didn't know that you would strike to kill I wish I could tell you I never will I gave you the hammer But I didn't know that you would strike to kill But I didn't think that you could kill
