St Matthew

A  G  A


[VERSE 1]
A                                    G               A
She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet
A                                G               A
She speaks in conversations that never are complete
D                E                F#
And looking over past things that she has never done
    Bm                               E             A
She calls herself St Matthew when she is on the run


[VERSE 2]
A                         G                A
She stoops down to gather partly shattered men
A                             G                A
And knows that when it's over it will start again
D                  E                F#
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun
    Bm                               E             A
She calls herself St Matthew when she is on the run


[CHORUS]
F#                           Bm
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
F#                               D            Dm            E7
But most if it is weariness from standing up trying not to kneel


[VERSE 3]
A                                  G                  A
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
A                                   G                  A
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
D                  E               F#
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
  Bm                                   E             A
A girl that's named St Matthew when she is on the run


[CHORUS]
F#                           Bm
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
F#                               D            Dm            E7
But most if it is weariness from standing up trying not to kneel


[VERSE 4]
A                                  G                  A
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
A                                   G                  A
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
D                  E              F#
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
  Bm                                   E             A
A girl that's named St Matthew when she is on the run
