Chords

chords: B: x02221 E: 022100 F#: 244322 definitely my favorite song off the 2017 album. these chords work for me, i don't think they're correct though ... (better ideas?) i strum it pretty quickly kinda like DD-UDU DD-UDU (and so on) here's a cover i made while i was sick, maybe it helps with the strumming (might do a better one some day): https://soundcloud.com/marieidek/a-single-thread-flatsound-cover [Intro] (B E F# B) [Verse 1] (B E F# B):
      B                      E
i was pulled out of bed by a single thread

   F#                       B
it tugged me to death by my clothing

      B                        E
and i was led to a door i'd never seen before

        F#                     B
with an old gentle glow of its opening

            B                            E
where i was a child pressed against your flower dress

           F#                      B
i clung to it like i did before i lost you

            B                            E
and i could tell you were cured you were happier

             F#                              B
your perfect words were the comfort that you offered
[Chorus] (E F# B):
      E       F#                B
and i sat and thought about the way that women talk

    E             F#         B
how carefully the words are chosen

             E        F#        B
and without missing a beat you lift me off my feet

          E         F#            B
and throw me in the depths of the ocean
[Verse 2]
      B                    E
where i had a dream that i couldn't breathe

         F#               B
that the vicious sea was attacking

   B                       E
it wrestled my tongue as it filled my lungs

         F#                      B
with the pressure that i'd been avoiding

      B                            E
and i sank to the depths where the bodies slept

      F#                 B
and a sign that read its warnings

              B                       E
said: "he who opens his mouth while already drowned

F#                           B
insults the knowledge of the ocean"
[Chorus]
     E             F#              B
so i sat inside to wait for it to dry

           E                 F#          B
until the sun had turned the sea into a meadow

           E          F#  B
and when i opened my eyes you were by my side

            E           F#            B
waiting for me with the trees and the pebbles
B E F# B [Verse 3]
         B                              E
and i said: "how could this be" you said: "i just followed the string

              F#                        B
that comes to me when i sleep, when i'm dreaming

          B                            E
my little star, my baby love, i wasn't giving up

      F#                          B
just taking the break i thought i needed"

             B                           E
and i said: "build me a wall that's indestructible

      F#               B
place it all around my body

        B                       E
have it blocking the sun so that when it comes

        F#                    B
i'll be right here where you left me"
[Chorus]
     E     F#       B
i'll sleep away the sadness of today

          E           F#         B
and bury deep in the sheets that surround me

          E      F#        B
yeah i'll sleep until the blankets and the quilts

E                 F#   B
dissolve into the soil around me
