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