Wide-eyed Legless by Laura Veirs
Wide-eyed Legless
For the verses: G#m B F# E
For the chorus: B E G#m F#
1st Verse:
G#m B
Down among the dead
F# E
The wide-eyed and the legless, only half a head
G#m B
Half a mouth to laugh from the porthole
F# E
With the more than faded epitaphs
G#m B F# E x2
Chorus:
B E G#m F#
Will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?
B E G#m F#
Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?
I don't think so
2nd Verse:
G#m B F#
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
E
Pumping poison through my veins
G#m B
Lacking on the star-crossed lover's map
F# E
Take the beating lash, lash for lash
G#m B F# E x2
Chorus:
B E G#m F#
Will we ever more kiss on the boardwalks fading red?
B E G#m F#
In the light of the waves and the comets waning tail
I don't think so
Outro (Play x4):
G#m B F#m
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
E
Faded epitaph
Close with:
G#m B F# E (x2)
