Intro
F# C#
G#m B F# G#m
Hide in a stork's mouth
E B F# G#m
Sleep 'til it's dark out
D#m A#m B
All dressed up holding your receipts for the numbers that you picked
D#m A#m B
You in a box full of your mistakes and a leaden crucifix
[Intrumental]
D#m F# G#m B 2x
D#m F# C# G#m B 4x
[Verse 1]
D#m F# G#m B
If hearts were all made like they were balls of yarn
D#m F# G#m B
Well they've all got the strings that get tugged on your heart
D#m F#
Some are different lengths
G#m B
Some would be stronger than others
D#m F# G#m B
And some would be the colors of your mothers and fathers
[Instrumental]
D#m F# G#m B 2x
[Verse 2]
D#m F# G#m Bmaj7
Do old structures stand the same as any older man?
D#m F#
F# place where something used to live
G#m B
But in the end just turns cold
D#m F# G#m Dadd9
F#m I a torn up, tattered, worn out piece of fabric
D#m F# G#m B
Not suitable to stitch up a rip?
D#m F#
Cause I'd like to be tightly braided
G#m F#
Gold and silver bracelets
D#m F# B
The type you'd like to wear round your wrist
[Chorus]
D#m F# G#m
As we lay
B D#m F# G#m
We start to pray
B D#m F# G#m
As we lay
B D#m F# G#m
We start to pray
[Outro]
D#m F#
And in the places you go
G#m B
You'll find these people you know
D#m F# G#m B
All sewing patterns into clothing that you've called your own
D#m F#
And in these smaller designs
G#m B
There's something larger you might find
D#m F# G#m B
That people's hands have worked together to make up the parts of you
D#m C#m
