Needle And Thread Chords

  			
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 

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 

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
