Cumbersome Heart chords by Robin Irene Moss

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am

Verse:
Am                     F             E
Cumbersome heart, far too enlarged for the cavity it's resting in now gravity is testing it.
Am                      F               E
Strung like a harp, but always in minor keys weaving shut its openings with melodies on rusted strings
F         E      Am
 Falling into the belly of the feast
F               E      Am
 Crawling through the jigsaw to extract a piece

Verse:
Am                    F             E
Cumbersome heart, rigged like a motor to chug along with energy from what the earth was borrowing
Am                   F                 E
Never quite sharp, bending its way to eternities of whetting stones which wear it down past blood and bone
F         E      Am
 Diving into the belly of the feast
F            E          Am
 Driving in circles of South, West, North, East

Chorus:
F              G    Em      Am
Bursting with blood but the arteries carry no air
      F            G             Em
There’s a jam in the veins as they strain to replace what is there
E           Am
 Growing stagnant and stale

Verse:
Am                        F        E
Cumbersome heart, painted with brushstrokes like fingerprints and drippings down the can
Am                    F               E
Undefined art, tripping at the borders constructed to assign to it, a label for defining it
F         E      Am
 Melting into the belly of the feast
F            E      Am
 Pelting effigies with hardening concrete

Chorus:
F              G    Em      Am
Bursting with blood but the arteries carry no air
      F            G             Em
There’s a jam in the veins as they strain to replace what is there
E           Am
 Growing stagnant and stale
