Threads Chords

[Chorus 1]
C                F
On a Wednesday I stumbled in
     G             C
To a side street café
C                 F
Where a cowboy is singing
G                   C
To a crowd of older age
C
They tapped their Velcro
F                 G
Feet on the floor
            C
Half a beat - delayed
C             F         G C
Sippin' their sweet lemonade
C             F         G C
Sippin' their sweet lemonade
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                   F
Then suddenly I'm a girl of three
G        C
Not much older
  C                    F                    G
I learned to carry the weight of the world
      C
On my shoulders
C                   F
Wanna give it back, give it back
     G
Happily
C                   F
This weight was not meant
G           C
For you and me
C                   F
This weight was not meant
    G       C
For you and me
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am
Woven threads in a tapestry
   C
Of delightful mystery
Am
Pieced together by wrinkled hands of time
    C
The colors sometimes bleed
Am
Against sun-bleached walls the quilt
             C
She speaks a patchwork symphony
F                                  G
We are here, we are simply here to be
G     C
Oh-ho oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                        F
He says innocence is the best defense
      G                 C
For a heart that's been broken
C                   F
She lets herself be still and soft
G              C
She is cracked open
C                       F
Wants to hold his hand, hold his hand
G              C
Let herself be seen
C                  F
There's space in between
      G       C
Where they'll meet
C                  F
There's space in between
      G       C
Where they'll meet
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                          F
Sitting slumped amidst the Sunday swamp
G      C
of family
     C                 F
They send him off with snapshots
G        C
To the Army
      C             F
Wanna take him back, take him back
G         C
Courageously
     C           F
This war was not meant
    G           C
For boys of nineteen
     C           F
This war was not meant
    G       C
For you and me

         C
We'll be sippin'
    F           G     C
Our sweet lemon-a-a-a-ade
