Misc Originals – Amy Porter - Common Threads (Guitar)

A                           E
Let's talk about a source of pride

E                      A
This old quilt where we reside

A                     D
Many parts are wearing thin

E                  A
It needs work, once again

A                 E
Lotsa folks are in need

E                 A
Torn apart at the seams

A                   D
All the edges get so frayed

E                        A
A little help goes a long way

A                  D
The fabric of society

E                               A
Is stitched together, by you and me

A                        D
Common threads connect us all

E                               A
Let's fix this cloth so we don't fall

A                        E
When bias cuts across the weave

E               A
Politics tend to lead

A                D
Ripping dreams in despair

E                     A
Every life has love to share

A                 E
Extend a hand as a start

E                A
Each of us mend a part

A               D
We can all pitch in

E                         A
Thread the needle, let's begin

A                  D
The fabric of society

E                               A
Is stitched together, by you and me

A                        D
Common threads connect us all

E                               A
Let's fix this cloth so we don't fall

A                      E
As the fabric starts to tear

E                A
Pay attention, be aware

A                         D
Safety pins won't hold for long

E                 A
Together we can be strong

A                  D
The fabric of society

E                               A
Is stitched together, by you and me

A                        D
Common threads connect us all

E                               A
