Capo 2
G C
A fist is just another kind of hammer made of steel
G C
Beating blindly on the anvil a hammer cannot feel
Am G
But a hand is for reaching out and touching all you can
Am C D
And holding on and hoping that you'll come to understand
Chorus
C G C G
So always try to keep you heart connected to your wrist
C G D G
Cause everybody knows that you can't shake hands with a fist
A fist is just another kind of tower made of stone
Without a window anywhere you know a tower stands alone
But a hand can open windows that have never seen the light
Lead you through the darkness and guide you through the night
Chorus
