Kevin Devine – Like Cursing Kids (Guitar)

             A                             Bm
I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today

        E               A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt

           A                              Bm
I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face

        E               A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt

              A                                  Bm
But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train

        D                             E
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring, I kept out of her way

                 A                               Bm
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today

       E                  A
So my heart keeps leapin' on

           A                            Bm
I tried to catch you in a couplet on my 4-track today

       E               A
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied

           A                            Bm
I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape

       E               A
So my tongue tied, my tongue tied

              A                            Bm
The words are small and insignificant, confused and cliche

        D                                 E
I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame

           A                             Bm
I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day

   E                  A
My tied tongue tumbles on

Dm         A
Shake and shiver

     Bm         A       E
And laugh like cursing kids

             Dm      A
And all our fitful failures

     Bm    A       E
Fit every time we kiss

                A
So cross your fingers, place your bets

               Bm
And hold that glow in your face

       E                A
Let my big mouth ramble on

Dm         A
Shake and shiver

     Bm         A       E
And laugh like cursing kids

             Dm      A
And all our fitful failures

     Bm    A       E
Fit every time we kiss

                A
So cross your fingers, place your bets

               Bm
And hold that glow in your face

       E                A
Let my big mouth ramble on
