Needle And Thread

	  		         E                                                   E  A  E 
I packed up and spent a week traveling east on the Interstate 
     A                                                E  A  E 
On a pittance for a fast food diet and some toothpaste 
      C#m                  B       
I can remedy along gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned 
         A                    F# 
Then I'm back to my good old ways 
      A                               B                         E  A  E 
Open arms at the bar for the prodigal son who often goes astray 

    A              E         B 
For now the waking world can wait 
A             E        B  
To sing your blues away 
A             E       B   
And hope for better days 
F# 
Pick an old song 
  
Then we'll dance in the dark 
           F 
It's that needle and thread 
B                         
Stitch up my broken heart!

E                                                        E  A  E 
I cave in, I black out, I bottle up until I pick a fight 
A                                                        E  A  E  
Then I raise a bloody fist in a salute to every passerby 
C#m                            B            
For the law man's sake I might bend but I won't break 
             A                  F# 
That part I leave for lovers in life 
            A                          B                        E  A  E 
This is my right to keep quiet, I'll reserve it for some other time 

    A              E         B   
For now the waking world can wait 
A            E         B 
To sing your blues away 
A            E         B   
And hope for better days 
F#    
And pick an old song 
  
Then we'll dance in the dark 
          F 
It's that needle and thread 
B                            E 
Stitch up my broken heart! 
B        
Cuff me up and take me in 
   C                          E 
So I can sleep an hour or two 
F#  
Just me and the gross criminals 
                              F  
Singing loud with nothing to lose 
   B 
Oh Lord, the music save their soul 
  
When nothing's right 
  
We'll rock and roll 

A                  E          B 
For now the waking world can wait 
A             E        B 
To sing your blues away 
A         E      B  
Hope for better days 
F#  
Pick an old song 
  
Then we'll dance in the dark 
           F 
It's that needle and thread...

Stitch up my broken heart!
