Kept Woman

Em         G           A          Em
Beating my drum in the fading hour,
          G               A       
biting my tongue, but the blood is
     Em
 sour,
           G    A Em      G
pulling up most of the foxgloves
         Em            A        Em
from the ground, ready to devour.


[Verse 2]
Em       G        A        Em
If I had seen any other way,
          G        A        Em
if it had been any other day,
           G   A Em      G
would I be rowdy and shouting
      Em             A        Em
to be heard from the alleyway?
      Em             A       Em
To be heard from the alleyway

[Chorus]
A                           E
Too long at the head of the table,
A                G
too unseen, like light in a dream,
A                    G
blue mind weary, but able
A                    Em
blue mind weary, but able


[Verse 3]
Em         G                A   
Everything splayed, getting cut 
    Em
out,
           G             
just to be staged for the 
 A         Em
photograph,
           G   A   Em       G
just to be one day sung and played
        Em          A        Em
for the length of a paragraph
        Em          A        Em
For the length of a paragraph


[Chorus]
A                 E
Too long swinging around (words?)
A                G
too unseen, like light in a dream,
A                    G
blue mind weary, but able
A                    Em
blue mind weary, but able


[Verse 1]
Em         G           A         
Beating my drum in the fading 
  Em
hour,
          G               A        
biting my tongue, but the blood is 
Em
sour,
           G    A  Em      G
pulling up most of the foxgloves
         Em            A        Em
from the ground, ready to devour
         Em            A        E
From the ground, ready to devour.
