Needlework

C     Em C

[Verse]
C                                      Em
My fingers broke holding the rope that tied me to the past
          C              G            Em
I choked on every simple syllable I'd stitched into my teeth
C                                Em
Since the bones reset I guess I think about you less
           C                       Em                          C
Unless I'm drinking or upset, but honestly that doesn't happen frequently

F
I'm not even sure why I'm still calling you up
            G                          Em
When I know that your phone's been disconnected for months
  C          F
I guess it's hard to break a habit that reminds you of love
           G                     Em                    C   Em E Em C Em
I just needed you to know that I don't miss you at all

C                                  Em              E      Em
And needlework would never hurt, I embellished all that I was worth
     C                                  Em
With words so passionately birthed by lovers losing hope

[Chorus]
    F
But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made
          G                       Em
Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin
    F
I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
     G
That even love is ruthless
Em
But I survived no thanks to you

    F
But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made
          G                       Em
Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin
    F
I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
     G
That even love is ruthless
Em
But I survived no thanks to you
