Shins – Phantom Limb chords

Capo 1

G                CFoals in winter coats
                    AmWhite girls of the North,
F               CFile past one, five and one,
               CThey are the fabled lambs 
     Da Sunday ham,
             Amthe ancient snow

                 G               CAnd they could float above the grass
               G    in circles if they tried
    F              CA latent power I know they hide

              C      To keep some hope alive
        D         that a girl like I
           Amcould ever try,
            GCould ever try

   Em                         DSo we just skirt the hallway sides
                 EmA phantom and a fly
E           C                D    Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection

G                  CA week of rolling eyes,
                          Amand cheap shots from the trite,

F                                 CAnd we're off to Nemarca's porch again,
           CAnother afternoon
            Dwith the goathead tunes,
      AmAnd pilfered booze.

             G                   CWe wander through her mamma's house
                   GThe milk from the window lights
         F             CFamily portrait circa '95

              CThis is that foreign land 
        D         of the sprayed-on tans
                  AmAnd it all feels fine
              GBe it silk or slime

Em                             DSo, when they tap our Monday heads
                  EmTo zombie-walk in our stead,
E               C                 D    This town seems hardly worth our time

     Em        C                  DAnd we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                       EmToo far along in our climb

           E             C             DStepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection


G     C               DOooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat 4x)


   Em                         DSo when they tap our Sunday heads
                 EmTo zombie-walk in our stead,
 E               C                 D    This town seems hardly worth our time

    Em         C                  DAnd we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                       EmToo far along in our crime,

           E            C             DStepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection


G     C               DOooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat to fade 8x)
