Lincoln Avenue

Hey, this is my first submission on here. i'm open for suggestions.

i noticed that the chords that were up for this were completely wrong, so i had to

out the right ones and correct them. so here.

also, this is figured out for piano, so i'm going to have to explain some of the

i'll do that at the end.

I'm not sure about the instrumental section in the middle, i usually just play Am, Em,

Dm. it sounds pretty good.

anyway. here.

Well I guess this is where I left my life

And all its operations

And I know that I will never get this twice

With all negotiations

For the next line play an Am chord but drop the root from, A, G#, G, F every four beats.

This feels like the place between what is and might have been

So I guess this is where we both find out

If this was meant to be

And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you

I’ll tell myself enough to get me through

But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day

If you can take a little more

Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue

When you said you’d never get tired of the boy

That seemed to be so far from growing up

But we were different then

same Am Pattern as before

This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way

And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you

I’ll tell myself enough to get me through

But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day

If you can wait a little more

instrumental. i'll post it when i get it.

Am thing again

This feels like the time that I’m ready for you

Are you ready for me

‘Cause I’ll tell myself I’ll make it through

I’ll tell myself anything to get over you

And I won’t blame you but I’m finally ready to show you

That I’m ready to show you, I’m ready to show you, yeah

I’ll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway

I need you

I need you now

I need you now

I’m ready now

the chords pretty much follow a basic quarter note pattern throughout the song.

the inversions i found are:

the Am progression is:

A, C, E

Ab, C, E

G, C, E

F, C, E

that's it.
