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