[Verse 1]
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

[Interlude]
G

[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
