Vs.1
Your hand on his arm, haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin, calling some friend trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb, that's what you've come to expect
Chorus
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
F5 A5 F5 C5 E5 A5 Play 2x's
Vs.2
He's wearing your clothes, head down to toes a reaction to you
You say you know what he did, but you idiot kid you don't have a
clue
Sometimes you just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him
through
Chorus
Middle 8
Vs.3
Now on the bus, nearly touching this dirty retreat
Faling out, sixth and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk walk walk, four more blocks plus the one in my brain
Vs.4
Down downstairs, to the man he's gonna make it all OK
I can't beat myself, I can't beat myself, and I don't wanna talk
I'm taking the cure, so I can be quiet
Wherever I want
So leave me alone, you ought to be proud that I'm getting good
marks
Chorus 2x's
Ending: Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 C E Am Play 2x's
