[Verse 1]
C Em G Am
Could’ve been the laughter of the party
C Em G Am
Could’ve been a lighthouse for my friends
C Em G Am
Could’ve been forgiveness to your demons
F C G
Oh I could’ve been, all of these things but in the end
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Time made me its fool
F C G
And I learn how to lose
I got so restless in my head
Am
Those thunder clouds were closing in and
C
Who was I? Still not quite sure and
G
Laugh or cry, pray or sin
Am
My beating heart was linen thin
F C G
Now I know how it feels
C
Dancing on the head of a needle
[Verse 2]

And figured out the dance to end your pain

Could’ve been your confidant or a shaman

Oh I could’ve been, all of these things
G
But in the end
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Time made me its fool

And I learn how to lose
I got so restless in my head
Am
Those thunder clouds were closing in and

Who was I? Still not quite sure and

Laugh or cry, pray or sin
Am
My beating heart was linen thin
F C G
Now I know how it feels

Dancing on the head of a needle

Those thunder clouds were closing in and
