Mary Lambert - Sarasvati Chords

Capo 2!


G
   You are
B7
   Sanskrit on my skin
        Em
Peel me open
          C
Till I am nothing
       D
But a whisper


G
  Name yourself sinner
        B7
I only play for pennies
             Em
And I don't play for sinners
             C
I play for sadness
            D
I play for dead things


G                           D
Pull the bones from their sockets
           Em
Please be softer while you do it
         C
For I am fragile
       D
And vacant


G          D
Sarasvati sung me to sleep I 
Em         C               D
Rested my head against a knee
G                         D
And the music I like goes up and down
       Em              C
Like bobbing bodies in a river bed


D (optional)
   And they say
G                     D
Mary, why are your songs so sad?
     Em                  C (hold)
Look at the luck and fortune you've had
            D
Why do you cry at night?



G                           D
Pull the bones from their sockets
           Em
Please be softer while you do it
         C
For I am fragile
       D
And vacant


G                   D
  You can take my body and tongue and organs
Em                        C                   D
  Whisper to my skin like death has already rose and stuff



G                           D
Pull the bones from their sockets
           Em
Please be softer while you do it
         C
For I am fragile
       D
And vacant


End on G
