Tom: F#
F#5
Hey Mrs. Crooked Spine
Walking ominously
Swingin' right leg after left
G#5
You're drinking bottle after bottle of uncertainty
It seems but
B
You've had metal rods put in your back
So show them what that means
F#5
Yeah, your ex-lover owes you money
And I don't think he's coming through
G#5
Cause he's a scumbag alcoholic
Lost his way at 22
B
He's a spineless ordinary
Without a single rod to hold his back up straight
[Bridge]
F#5 Eb D C# C B
Stop acting like you don't deserve happiness
[Verse 2]
F#5
I saw you trapped inside a cave
As I was resting on a hill
G#5
Hans was in there with you too
The wood arising for the kill
B
I tried to pull you out
But couldn't get you
Through that two foot gap
F#5
I walkеd away in pace and panic
I wasn't sure of what to do
G#5
The dеad moss resting by an isolated boulder was a clue
B
Sometimes there's no way out
Sometimes you drown with loved ones there to watch
[Bridge]
F#5 Eb D C# C B
Stop feeling like you were never important to me
[Chorus]
F# B
Strong Spine Sammy Jane
You're lighting your whole world up
By your feet up and bruised like you used to be
F# B
S-Shaped Vertebrae
You've got stories to tell the world
Don't be so scared to tell them what you've been through
[instrumental Break]
F#5 G#5 B
[Verse 3]
F#5
I'm sure you're fed up with the distance
As much as me, and if not more
G#5
But we don't show that much resistance
Never settled up a score
B
Maybe we're cold and some what callus
From all the bullshit we've endured
F#5
Like growing up around addiction
The leeches screaming at the walls
G#5
As we deliberate between letting it bring and picking up the calls
B
To a slurred out conversation
Filled with shame and brutal self-deprecation
[Bridge]
F#5 Eb D C# C B
Stop talking like you don't deserve anything
[Chorus]
F# B
Strong Spine Sammy Jane
You're lighting your whole world up
By your feet up and bruised like you used to be
F# B
S-Shaped Vertebrae
You've got stories to tell the world
Don't be so scared to tell them what you've been through
[Verse 4]
F# B
I know I wasn't good to you
When we were growing up
And I blame myself for doing damage to your confidence
F# B
I wish I could take it back
Despite how much we've overcome
I was such an angry child
But that's no excuse to lean on
F#5 Eb D C# C B
[Outro]
F#5
You worried endlessly for days
About the scar upon your back
G#5
I said that scar was something special
No matter how some kids react
B
You have spinal reinforcement
