Em C Em
Here I am when traffic slowly flows
(Where the needle touched down)
Em C Em
Carbon planes draw a cage round the air force base
(Where the needle touched down)
Em C Em
My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low
C F
Over poor Spanaway
C F
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
C F
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
C F
The needle's the same that recorded and played
C F
When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away
C F
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
G C
You'd still be here baby
F Fm
My baby, baby
C F C F
C F
So that's why I never come back here
C F
That's why they spit out my name
C F
Your ex's have clawed up the bible
G C
Trying to keep me away
C F
With the sledge of tectonic fever
G C
The needle has landed again
G C
Let it plaaaay
Em G C
And the needle touched dooooown
F
The needle is landing
Em G C
And the needle touched dooooown
F
The needle is landing
C F
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
C F
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
C F
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
G C
You'd still be here baby
C F Fm (repeat)
