Collette Savard: Music

I rarely play this song at shows. Why? Because the chord position I use hurts the back of my hand. I'm not kidding!

The Back of My Hand

We've spent too many nights
Dangling from this rope
The tension I fear is strangling us both
Everything's wrong cause we both think we're right
It seems like we'll never make it through the night
But I know you'll stay and everything's going to be OK
I don't know much but I know I can say

That I know you
Better than maybe you want me to
I know you
Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart

We all have a plan a place we should go
The best way to get there
We all think we know
But some days I wake up and all I can see
Is that I'm so far away
From where I thought I should be
But you calm my fears
You take my hand and you dry my tears
You say you'll have your day
I don't know much but I know I can say

That I know you
Better than maybe you want me to
I know you
Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart

Life is full of doubt
So many things I don't know about

But I know you
Better than maybe you want me to
I know you
Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart
