Severed Crossed Fingers - St. Vincent
-------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Cate
Tuning: STANDARD/capo on 2
Album version
Capo on second fret but I tabbed it out
as if no capo (so if using a capo, 2 is
really an open string; if it says 4, it
is the 4th fret on the fretboard but is
2 frets from the capo...for any beginners
reading this lol)
Lyrics and chords are at the bottom. It's
entirely possible this is not exactly how

let me know.

Lyrics/chords:
AWhen yDour cAalling ain't cDalling back to you
I'll be side stage mouthing lines for you
AHumiliDated by Aage, terrifDied of youth
I got hope but my hope isn't helping you
Chorus:
ASpitting our Dguts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
AFind my sevF#mered crossed
E fingers in the rubble there
Wake up puddle eyed, sleeping in the suit
The truth is ugly, well, I feel ugly too
We'll be heroes on every bar stool
Seeing double beats not seeing one of you
(Chorus)
Well you stole the heart right out my chest
Changed the words that I knew best
Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there
(Interlude) (F#m, E)
(Chorus)
