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