St. Vincent

Severed Crossed Fingers

St. Vincent


Tom: A

A            D     A              D
When you're calling ain't calling back to you
I'll be side stage, mouthing lines for you
Humiliated by age, terrified of youth
I got hope but my hope isn't helping you

Chorus

A             D
Spitting out guts from their gears
A             D
Draining our spleen over years
A               G                      E  
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

Verse

Wake up puddle eyed, sleeping in a suit
The truth is ugly well, I feel ugly too
We'll be heroes on every bar stool when
Seeing double beats not seeing one of you

Chorus

Spitting out guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there
Well you stole the heart right out my chest
Changed the words that I know best
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

Interlude

F#m - E repeats then remains on E for a long time

Spitting out guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there
Well you stole the heart right out my chest
Changed the words that I know best
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there
