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
