Heavy Handed chords by James Bay

No capo, standard tuning

Intro:
F F C C

Verse 1:
     F
It's only getting harder
                                C
Talking to you without falling down
         F
And this house keeps getting darker
                                  C
We used to love, now all we do is shout

Pre-hook 1:
         Am
If we're cutting any corners
                C
There's still a chance to make it right
         Am
So let's put our heads together
  F
Before we lose our mind

Hook:
            C   Em  Am Em  F
Have I been holding on too strong?
          C  Em  Am  Em  F
Maybe I'm coming off all wrong
          C  Em Am  Em  F
Is it our heavy handed love
        G              F
Keeping us from moving on?

Instrumental:
F F C C

Verse 2:
      F
Feels like I'm treading the water
                                   C
Trying to keep my head above the line
           F
I hear the sound of you get softer
                                    C
Lately you've been just so hard to find

Pre-hook 2:
             Am
And there's nothing I want more now
         C
Than to say the perfect words
   Am
I try to make it better
         F
But the trying only hurts

Hook:
             C  Em  Am Em  F
Have I been holding on too strong?
          C  Em  Am Em   F
Maybe I came across all wrong
          C  Em Am Em   F
Is it our heavy handed love
        G               F
Keeping us from moving on?

Bridge:
C B Dm Fm
(Uhhh Ohh ohh yeahh)
Am                          C
    I'm not ready to go tonight
                       F
I'm not ready to go tonight (No, I'm not ready)
                       F
I'm not ready to go tonight (To go)

Hook:
             C  Em  Am Em  F
Have I been holding on too strong?
          C  Em  Am Em   F
Maybe I came across all wrong
          C  Em Am Em   F
Is it our heavy handed love
        G               F
Keeping us from moving on?
