Capo: 3rd Fret
Intro : G Em C D, Am C D
G Em C D
Well I guess you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t know where to look
Am C D
But I saw the love you sewed into those wedding clothes
G Em C D
I saw the way it danced along the unfinished seams
Am C D
How you weaved it in the corn of that tender wreath
Am D
But when you’re frightened by the evening and still burning from the sun
G C
When the words fly by like cinders and they stick to your skin
Am D
Can you see you’re not alone as I’ve the mark in my eyes
G C
When the furies sing like lovers, yeah I know how it feels
Am D C G Am
So Annie don’t you cry, if you’re holding on, in these fearful winds by your fingertips
D G Em C D, Am C D
To the threads that guide you on, to a better life
G Em C D
Hey sister can you see the way I stumble on my path
Am C D
If you think I walk with sureness, it’s just a trick of the light
G Em C D
I don’t know the way I’m supposed to be, I don’t know the way at all
Am C D
So won’t you hold my hand as I hit every wall
(Bridge)

To the threads that guide you on to a better life
