Lyrics

Tapestry  (capo 5 for Key: C)

Verse 1:
F
I'm striking different poses, waiting for you to notice, wake up and smell the roses
I'm bringing to the table, a lot so you are able, to see why I'm unstable

        Bb                         F
Na na na, na na na na na na na
       Bb                       dm C7 --
Na na na, na na na na na na na

F
I flip the book wide open, you just have to look in, so I know you see me
Let's keep the pages turning, 'cuz we're always learning, how to know what we need

        Bb                               F
Na na na, just like a woven tapestry
       Bb                                                 dm C7
Na na na, always something there for you to see

Chorus:
F                                                Fsus F           Bb
There are pages and pages of stories,  That explain and disclaim all my crazy worries
     Dm                     C Bb
But if you don't care to be aware then you can just leave

Verse 2:
F
It's been the sweetest process, looking into your past, unraveling your secrets
Let's keep the pages turning, yes I'm always learning, how to care for you best

        Bb                               F
Na na na, just like a woven tapestry
       Bb                                                 dm C7
Na na na, always something there for me to see

Chorus

Bridge:
F                                         Bb
I'm waiting for you to ask,  What's your favorite toothpaste brand
F                                         C
Do you fry or do you tan?  Where'd you get the scar on your hand
F                                         Bb
I'm waiting for you to ask,  What's your favorite toothpaste brand
Dm                                         C
Do you fry or do you tan?  Where'd you get the scar on your hand?
F                                                                 Bb
What's your gramma's house look like?,  When's the last time that you cried?
Dm                                                C
Were you hurt by the first guy?  Are you busy Friday night?

   Bb                                    F
Na na na, just like a woven tapestry
       Bb                                                 dm C7
Na na na, always something there for you to see

Dropout:
Bb    F
Na na na       just like a symphony
Na na na     I'll play for you in every key

Outro:
Na na na, just like a woven tapestry....Na na na....Na na na
Na na na, just like a symphony...Na na na, Can't wait for you to hear my melody
Na na na, just like a woven tapestry...Na na na...Always something there for you to see
