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  

F  C/G   Dm7  
F  C/G   Dm7  
F  C/G   Dm   F/C   Dm/B   F/A   E/G#  

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
