Intro
A# F
Cm D# A# Cm
Hide in a stork's mouth
G# D# A# Cm
Sleep 'til it's dark out
Gm Dm D#
All dressed up holding your receipts for the numbers that you picked
Gm Dm D#
You in a box full of your mistakes and a leaden crucifix
[Intrumental]
Gm A# Cm D# 2x
Gm A# F Cm D# 4x
[Verse 1]
Gm A# Cm D#
If hearts were all made like they were balls of yarn
Gm A# Cm D#
Well they've all got the strings that get tugged on your heart
Gm A#
Some are different lengths
Cm D#
Some would be stronger than others
Gm A# Cm D#
And some would be the colors of your mothers and fathers
[Instrumental]
Gm A# Cm D# 2x
[Verse 2]
Gm A# Cm D#maj7
Do old structures stand the same as any older man?
Gm A#
A# place where something used to live
Cm D#
But in the end just turns cold
Gm A# Cm Dadd9
A#m I a torn up, tattered, worn out piece of fabric
Gm A# Cm D#
Not suitable to stitch up a rip?
Gm A#
Cause I'd like to be tightly braided
Cm A#
Gold and silver bracelets
Gm A# D#
The type you'd like to wear round your wrist
[Chorus]
Gm A# Cm
As we lay
D# Gm A# Cm
We start to pray
D# Gm A# Cm
As we lay
D# Gm A# Cm
We start to pray
[Outro]
Gm A#
And in the places you go
Cm D#
You'll find these people you know
Gm A# Cm D#
All sewing patterns into clothing that you've called your own
Gm A#
And in these smaller designs
Cm D#
There's something larger you might find
Gm A# Cm D#
That people's hands have worked together to make up the parts of you
Gm C#m
