Biography:
DeVotchKa is an American band that melds a collection of influences into a blend of rock 'n' roll.
The band's fifth album shows influences of the Arizona desert with producer Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case) to create a compendium of short stories inspired by the varied moments the band experienced since the release of A Mad & Faithful Telling (Anti-, 2007).
Like many bands, DeVotchKa spent much of their early years traveling the highways and byways searching for gigs and a musical direction.

[Intro]
Bb F Bb F
[Verse]
Bb
Is losing something that you love
F
a blessing in disguise
Bb
who comes and goes into our life
F
not for us to decide
Bb
You can bury them deep inside
F
but you can never hide
Bb
You waited for them long enough
F
It's time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Bb F
O my lordy O my god
Bb F
I finally see what's going on
Bb F
I count the fingers that you made me
Bb F
Am I squandering the life you gave me
[Verse]
Bb
I never seem to find the words
F
the devil ties my tongue
Bb
Then I find the perfect words
F
the moment you have gone
Bb
Are we still lovers we'll never be friends
F
Is this all there is? Is this where it ends?
Bb
Was it fate? Was it games of chance?
F
Are we victims of the circumstances
[Chorus]
Bb F
O my lordy O my god
Bb F
I finally see what's going on
Bb F
I count the fingers that you made me
Bb F
Am I squandering the life you gave me
[Interlude]
Bb F Bb Bb F x2
[Verse]
Bb
Bend your words into a prayer
F
send them on a trip some where
Bb
Let them ring and resonate
F
Kiss your lips and seal my fate
Bb
maybe losing something
F
that you love is a blessing in disguise
Bb
you've been their slave for far too long
F
It's time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Bb F
O my lordy O my god
Bb F
I finally see what's going on
Bb F
I count the fingers that you made me
Bb F
Am I squandering the life you gave me
[Fadeout]
