Intro
E B
F#m A E F#m
Hide in a stork's mouth
D A E F#m
Sleep 'til it's dark out
C#m G#m A
All dressed up holding your receipts for the numbers that you picked
C#m G#m A
You in a box full of your mistakes and a leaden crucifix
[Intrumental]
C#m E F#m A 2x
C#m E B F#m A 4x
[Verse 1]
C#m E F#m A
If hearts were all made like they were balls of yarn
C#m E F#m A
Well they've all got the strings that get tugged on your heart
C#m E
Some are different lengths
F#m A
Some would be stronger than others
C#m E F#m A
And some would be the colors of your mothers and fathers
[Instrumental]
C#m E F#m A 2x
[Verse 2]
C#m E F#m Amaj7
Do old structures stand the same as any older man?
C#m E
E place where something used to live
F#m A
But in the end just turns cold
C#m E F#m Dadd9
Em I a torn up, tattered, worn out piece of fabric
C#m E F#m A
Not suitable to stitch up a rip?
C#m E
Cause I'd like to be tightly braided
F#m E
Gold and silver bracelets
C#m E A
The type you'd like to wear round your wrist
[Chorus]
C#m E F#m
As we lay
A C#m E F#m
We start to pray
A C#m E F#m
As we lay
A C#m E F#m
We start to pray
[Outro]
C#m E
And in the places you go
F#m A
You'll find these people you know
C#m E F#m A
All sewing patterns into clothing that you've called your own
C#m E
And in these smaller designs
F#m A
There's something larger you might find
C#m E F#m A
That people's hands have worked together to make up the parts of you
C#m C#m
