C C
Br eak us down by our elements
F G
And y ou might th ink He failed
We're not copper for one penny or
F G G
Even iron f or one n ail
F C
And a d ollar would be pl enty
G C
To buy tw enty of us
F C
Until tr ue love is added
G C
To these h andfuls of d ust
F C G
C.H andful of d ust, h andful of dust
F C g C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F C G Am
Tr ue love makes pr iceless the w orthl ess
F C G C
When ever it's added to a h andful of d ust
However small though our worth may be
When shared between two hearts
Is even more than it would ever be
Measured on its own apart
And our half what it could be
Is now twice what it's worth
When true love is added
To these handfuls of dust
Repeat Chorus
