Chords for Needle and Thread by Alice Englert

[A] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Listening, waiting, [F]
pulling a thread on [C] through the fabric [G]
in my head.
[C] _ What is it I sew?
[F] How will it fit [Am] what I make?
[C] I sew on, [G]
sewing, saying.
[D] _ So play a [F] ball that's needle's just as sharp [C] and the blood is just as [G] dark as the blisters.
Open in [C] my heart, _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] and I have manners, [F] so if you want I'll go away.
[C] Do me the favor of [G] being honest if you want me [C] to stay.
Cause baby you're an [F] opponent I could never hope to beat.
[C] I never like the rules and [G] I don't know how to cheat.
[D] _ I can feel my sides [F] on stitching [C] and my whole lung thinks [G] it's too cheap.
[D] _ But still I [F] follow the pattern [C] when I don't know [G] what I make. _
[D] _ _ When I feel [F] you in [Am] my head, [C] I'll turn away [G] to my needle and [D] thread.
Cause I was never yours [F] to sew [Am] and you were never [C] mine to weave.
So you said that [G] I should go and I pretended I wanted to [D]
leave.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] And the dream decides to pull [C]
apart, the [G] seams are undone. _ _
[D] The [A] figure says I'd [Am] rather stay and be [C] ragged with you than be [G] all engrossed. _ _
[D] _ _ When I [F] feel you in my [C] head, I'll turn away [G] to my needle and thread.
[D] _ Cause you were [F] never mine to sew and I was never [C] yours to weave.
So you said I [G] should go and I pretended I [D] wanted to leave.
