I've been the needle and the thread
Gadd9/F E minor 7Em7 C majorC

Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said

G+G
Fumbling through your dresser drawer
Gadd9/F#
Forgot what I was looking for
Gadd9/F E minor 7Em7 C majorC
Try to guide me in the right direction

Making use of all this time

Keeping everything inside

Close my eyes and listen to you cryin'

Down these jagged streets and into my bed
