[Verse]
The Fcar wheels hummed and the Amradio whined
The Frise and Cfall of Gtelephone Clines
I was Ftrying to remember the lastAm thing you said
Holding Fon to the Cslender thread G
[Verse]
I was aFwakened last night by the Amknife of a moon
I've been Fspooling out a Cthread from my Gheart to Cyou
Don't give Fup on me, whatAmever you do
I'm holding Fon to the Cslender thread G D7
[Chorus]
GLook up and bless every Amguiding star
We've Fworked so hard and Gcome so far
Home is still wherAmever you are
Holding Fon to the Gslender Fthread C G C F C G
[Verse]
I Fnever knew it would Amcome to this
That the Fworld I Cknew no Glonger exCists
I can Fstill feel it burn like a Amplace you kissed
Holding Fon to the Cslender thread G
[Chorus]
Look up and bless every Amguiding star
We've Fworked so hard and Gcome so far
Home is still wherAmever you are
Holding Fon to the Gslender Fthread

[Bridge]
FScams and scriptures Gposted by the roadside Am
FWhole stories hung out Gloose on the clotheslines Am
I left a Ftrail of crumbs and a Gpaper map
As the Ammiles unravel, it's loN.C.ve GthN.C.at Fcalls me Gback
[Verse]
I used to Flay out altars in Amhotel rooms
On cigaFrette burnt Ctables, and Gcheck out at Cnoon
A Fstone and a feather and a Amletter from you
Holding Fon to the Cslender thread G
[Chorus]
GLook up and bless every Amguiding star
We've Fworked so hard and Gcome so far
Home is still wherAmever you areG___
[Chorus]
GLook up and bless every Amguiding star
We've Fworked so hard and Gcome so far
Home is still wherAmever you are
Holding Fon to the Gslender Fthread
