Verse:
       G             C       D          G
I have hands like my grandma, rough and wide
                   C              D
Got a smile like my father, kinda crooked at one side
        C             G     D                 Em
And the thread of our union pulls through the years
            C             G                    D
Through the burdens and rejoicing, through the courage and the fear

        C               G                D             Em
Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by
            C            G          D       Em
We have all followed the fabric wherever it led
C              G        D      C

We were mean mama lions with babies on our hips
                        C                D
Two were workin' at the grocery, one was livin' on tips
           C              G                  D                   Em
A-two fell sick and one recovered, a-three divorced and one went clean
    C                 G                 D
One lost a child last April, one's still chasin' a dream

Chorus:

Verse:
     G            C          D                 G
If I live to be a hundred, I won't forget your eyes
                    C    D
Or the feel of your body lying next to mine
       C              G        D                Em
No one loves you like I do, no one knows you so well
          C             G                      D
All the days that still haunt you and all the secrets you won't tell

Chorus:
             C             G                D             Em

        C               G                D             Em
Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by
            C            G          D       Em
We have all followed the fabric wherever it led
