Gretchen Peters - When All You Got Is A augmentedA Hammer
INTRO: A minorAm
There's a bible on the table
C majorC
There's a bottle on the shelf
FF A minorAm
There's a woman in the kitchen
E7E7
Crying quietly to herself
A minorAm
Down the hallway, in the bedroom
C majorC
He can hear his children wail
FF A minorAm
When all you got is a hammer
E7E7 A minorAm
Everything looks like a nail
Well he came home from the desert
C majorC
With a medal on his chest
FF A minorAm
Like a hero, like a champion
E7E7
But he felt more like a guest
A minorAm
Now he sleeps with one eye open
C majorC
And he wakes up scared as hell
FF A minorAm
And all he's got is a hammer
E7E7 A minorAm
And everything looks like a nail
CHORUS:
C majorC
Well, they show you how to shoot
G+G
And they show you how to kill
DmDm
But they don't show you what to do
E7E7
With this hole that you can't fill
A minorAm
So you dwell in the darkness of your soul
C majorC
Like Jonah in the belly of the whale
FF A minorAm
And all you got is a hammer
E7E7 A minorAm
And everything looks like a nail
INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm C majorC FF A minorAm E7E7 (2x) A minorAm
When a good man in a bad dream
C majorC
Can't make it on his own
FF A minorAm
When he can't feed his own damn children
E7E7
On the money that he brings home
A minorAm
And the deck is stacked against him
C majorC
And he knows he's bound to fail
FF A minorAm
And all he's got is a hammer
E7E7 A minorAm
Everything looks like a nail
CHORUS:
C majorC
Well, they show you how to shoot
G+G
And they show you how to kill
DmDm
But they don't show you what to do
E7E7
With this hole that you can't fill
A minorAm
So you dwell in the darkness of your soul
C majorC
Like Jonah in the belly of the whale
FF A minorAm
And all you got is a hammer
E7E7 A minorAm
And everything looks like a nail
Yeah, all you got is a hammer
E7E7 N.C. A minorAm
And everything looks like a nail
