Needle & Thread
Eilen Jewell
Verse 1
A E
Just one horse shy of a one-horse town
D A E
This ain’t the first time it tried to burn itself down
A E
And the American girls in their American dreams
D A E
Never put themselves here, so undone at the seams
Verse 2
A E
Seven bars, one church, heaven is no match for hell
D A E
In these four blocks of rust piles and abandoned motels
A E
Old men flick quarters in the cracks of the boardwalk
D A E
And the little boys learn to cuss before they can talk
Chorus:
A D
Home is the needle and thread
E A
For the hole in the lifeboat - That it put you in
A D
And it leaves its mark - All stamped with lead
E A
In the lines and the grime - Inside your skin
A E D A E (x2)
Verse 3
A E
No one here’s been famous in a very long time
D A E
But you can count the stars for days on a cold, clear night
A E
It pierces me slowly, pulling me through
D A E
It’s the pain of undoing the tearing in two
Chorus:
A D
Home is the needle and thread
E A
For the hole in the lifeboat - That it put you in
A D
And it leaves its mark - All stamped with lead
E A
In the lines and the grime - Inside your skin
Outro:
A E D A E (x2)
