G                                D
She was the queen of the rummage sale 
                       G
The curator of a great collage 
                                 D 
she would rescue every beautiful thing 
                              C 
the bric-a-back and the hodge podge 
                                   G       D
and stack the boxes in her parents garage 

[Verse 2]
G                            D
I had to learn how to travel light
                              G
With a satchel and an old suitcase
                    D
It really wears you down
                    C
To carry on at that pace
                                   G     D
Cause you’re never standing in one place

[Chorus] 
G             D
Odds and ends 
                   C          G
Held together with safety pins 
                  C        G 
I know there's a lot to fix 
                    B               
So, we're taking it stitch-by-stitch
G         D
If we can, 
                 C            G
Gonna build us a promised land
                C        G
It comes to us secondhand
                 D
I think we’ll do fine

[Verse 3]
G                              D
Now we’re driving down the Palisades
                            G
It feels good to get out of town
                                      D
And we’re stopping at every yard sale sign
                                    C
Or use the classifieds to track ‘em down
                               G      D
She takes my hand and leads me around
G                                D
These are colors that I’ve never seen
                 G
So sudden and so bright
                             D
In the places that I’ve been before
         C
And I realize 
                             G    D
That I’m looking through her eyes

[Chorus] 
G             D
Odds and ends 
                   C          G
Held together with safety pins 
                  C        G 
I know there's a lot to fix 
                    B               
So, we're taking it stitch-by-stitch
G         D
If we can, 
                 C            G
Gonna build us a promised land
                C        G
It comes to us secondhand
                 D
I think we’ll do fine

[Interlude/Solo]

[Verse 4]
G                          D
I carry boxes up a hundred stairs
                               G
And she unpacks and laughs and cheers
                              D
And I finally put my suitcase down
                               C
Between the picture frames and souvenirs
                                 G     D
I think I’ll stay for a thousand years

[Chorus]
G          D                C       G
If we can, gonna build us a promised land
               C         G      
It comes to us secondhand
                 D
I think we’ll do fine
    G          D               C          G
And if we fail we can follow a bread crumb trail
                 C      G
Drop a coin in a wishing well
                 D
I think we’ll do fine
    G          D                   C             G
And in the end we’ll be calling up all our friends
C      G                      D    G                
All our friends think we’ll do fine
