Chorus: G Hand over fist - Em Paper around the stone F Scissors cut the paper, C Cut the paper to the bone Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper And the rock must stand alone Em I could disappear into the crowd - C D Not if I keep my head in the clouds Em I could walk away so proud - Cmaj7 D It's easy enough if you don't laugh too loud I thought I was okay alone Wait for the postman and the telephone Lost in a world of my own I thought I could run alone Thought I could run through the night alone Chorus: Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper And the rock must stand alone Hand over hand Doesn't seem so much Hand over hand Is the strength of the common touch You talk as we walk along You never imagined I could be so wrong Humming your favourite song You know I've hated that song for so long How can we ever agree? Like the rest of the world We grow farther apart I swear you don't listen to me Holding my hand to my heart Holding my fist to my racing heart Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone Take a walk outside myself In some exotic land Greet a passing stranger Feel the strength in his hand Feel the world expand I feel my spirit resist But I open up my fist Lay hand over hand over Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone Chorus: Hand over hand Doesn't seem so much Hand over hand Is the strength of the common touch Hand over hand Doesn't seem so much Hand over hand Is the strength of the common touch Hand over hand Doesn't seem so much Hand over hand Is the strength of the common touch Hand over hand Doesn't seem so much Hand over hand Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone Hand over fist Paper around the stone Scissors cut the paper Cut the paper to the bone...
