Lincoln Avenue
Train
C Em F
Well I guess this is where I left my life
Dm7
And all its operations
C Em F
And I know that I will never get this twice
Dm7
With all negotiations
Am E/G# Em/G F
This feels like the place between what is and might have been
C Em F
So I guess this is where we both find out
Dm7
If this was meant to be
C Em F
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
Dm7
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
C Em F
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
Dm7
If you can take a little more
C Em F
Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
Dm7
When you said you’d never get tired of the boy
C Em F
That seemed to be so far from growing up
Dm7
But we were different then
Am E/G# Em/G F
This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way
C Em F
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
Dm7
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
C Em F
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
Dm7
If you can wait a little more

Am E/G#
This feels like the time that I’m ready for you
Em/G F
Are you ready for me
C Em F
‘Cause I’ll tell myself I’ll make it through
Dm7
I’ll tell myself anything to get over you
C Em
And I won’t blame you but I’m finally ready to show you
F Dm7
That I’m ready to show you, I’m ready to show you, yeah
C Em F Dm7
I’ll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
C
I need you now
Em
I need you now
F Dm7
I'm ready now
