St Matthew

A  G  A


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


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


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


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


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


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