Needle And Thread

               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
