Capo 5


verse 1 

D 
When he broke the handcuffs, all the families with bad blood clapped their 
G  
hands.  
D 
A natural reaction to a man they understand—they clapped their  
G 
hands 
D 
The curtains drew. The lights went out. He grabbed a bag of ice and thought of 
G 
her.  
D 
He put aside the stinging where the handcuffs cut his hide and thought of  
G 
her.

Oh, our hands are tied (2x)
