Strange Mercy by St. Vincent
Strange Mercy
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
Oh little one I know you've been tired for a long, long time
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
And oh little one I ain't been around a little while
Em Dm
But when you see me, way-a-ait
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
Oh little one your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
Cmaj7
Our father in exile
Bb Fmaj7
For God only knows how many years
Em Dm
But when you see him, way-a-ait
Em Bb
through double pay-a-ain
Dm Em G
I'll be with you lost boy-oy-oys
Bb F Am Dm
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
Oh little one I'd tell you good news that I don't believe
Em Dm
If it would help you slee-ee-eep
Em Bb
Strange mercy-y-y
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up
No I don't know what
Cmaj7 Bb Fmaj7
If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up
Dm Em G
I'll be with you lost boy-oy-oys
Bb F Am Dm
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
