The Needle Has Landed

Em                     C    Em
Here I am in traffic's slow flow 
(Where the needle touched down)
Em                   C           
Carbon planes draw a cage around 
    Em
the air force base (where the needle
 touched down)
Em                         C     
My foot on the brake it's ok to 
   Em
fly low

An eagle swooped down from a 
 F
semi-trailer
         C                        
Took the name of your town from a 
F

    C                      F
The needle's the same it recorded 
and played
         C                       
When you left me at the greyhound 
     F
the year I moved away
    C                        F
And if I knew then what's so obvious

G                   C

[Verse 3]
   C                       F
So that's why I never come back here
C                           F
That's why they spit out my name
     C                       F
Your exes have clawed up the bible
G                  C
Trying to keep me away
         C                  F
With the sledge of tectonic fever
    G                  C
The needle has landed again
       G  C
Let it play

[Verse 4]
        Em             G  C
And the needle touched down
