Chords for Banks - Lincoln 🧭 Lyrics

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Mile marker 27 says [B] we're on the way to heaven and [A] I smile at the passenger [C] seat
_ _ [F] 40 miles from Chicago.
There is snow on the windshield and you're downtown dragging your feet
[Fm] _ _ [C] Brooklyn block [B] or our Union Central Station [A] and our bullets flying into the [Bb] car
_ _ _ [F] Same as it's always been
_ It's [Ab] the same as it's always [Ab] been
_ [Dm] 200 miles from Chicago.
There is blood on the windshield [G] and I am reeling as you gather your things.
I [F] said I don't know what to do anymore as if I knew what to do [Em] before I can fuck up [Ab] almost anything
_ [C] I don't think that I
[Em] Would exactly call it love
_ [F] But it's dripping down my consciousness [Ab] as you're slipping down my _ lungs
[C] I'll only build you a protest [B] out of sticks and rocks I [A] find in the backyard behind [Bb] the house you grew up [F] in
in loving _ memory
_ _ [Fm] Of all our [D] non-conformity
_ I [C] want to sing you a signal [B] that reaches only the ears
[Am] Of young _ [Bb] disenfranchised straight white boys [F] because that would feel normal
_ _ [Ab] through none of this guys
I _ _ [C] _ _
don't think that I
[Em] Would exactly call it love
_ [F] But it's dripping down my consciousness
_ [Fm] As you're slipping down my lungs
_ _ [C] _ Same as one rainy day, [Em] _ maybe that you'll see
_ _ [F] _ I am like the earth, no man, [Ab] there's no way you'll be
_ _ [C] _ Even in [G] my dreams, [C] I still [F] don't know the difference _ between
[C] What it is [G] I want
_ [F] What it is I need I want to see [C] you be
I [G] _ want to see [F] you survive _
_ And I want [C] to see both of [B] us _ prospering [F] and thriving separately
_ [C] _ _ The good part is [G] of knowing [Dm] something that's [F] about to happen
[C] But also knowing [Em] that I can't [Dm] do _ anything [B] about it
Because [C] your new house [Em] just don't shine quite like [Bb] the one [C] you grew [F] up in used to
[C] I wanna come [Em] and visit
_ [Bb] I wanna see [F] this through [C] but
I [G] never will because [D] you're just not what [F] I need
And [C] I am just not [G] like you are though [Dm] you're in every one I [Fm] needed
_ _ [C] We'll say fuck [B] the banks, but [Am] we'll still [F] use them every day
And when [C] we pride amongst [B] ourselves
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ [F] Banks will say okay
[C] Have you been spending [G] all your capital [Bb] on closet beer [F] _ deejup?
You [C] keep doing what [G] you can
[Bb] We'll keep doing what [F] we must
[C] So despite what you [G] have learned in [Dm] songs, the wish you [F] take a bullet
[C] You won't find [G] expected truth
_ [Dm] In a fire [F] Rhyming chocolate
The chocolate The chocolate
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
