Lincoln Avenue

C                     Em           Am
Well I guess that this is where I left my life

And all its operations
C                   Em          Am
And I know that I will never get this twice

With all negotiations

C                   Em                G              D
This feels like the place between what is and might have been
C                    Em             Am
So I guess that this is where we both find out

If this was meant to be
C            Em              Am
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
             F           G
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
C                           Em
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every
Am
day
F                     G
If you can take a little more


C                    Em             Am
Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue

When you said you'd never get tired of the boy
C                 Em            Am
That seemed to be so far from growing up

But we were different then


C                 Em               G                 D
This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way
C            Em              Am
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
           F           G
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
C                           Em
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every
Am
day
F                     G
If you can wait a little more


C                Em                  Am
This feels like the time that I'm ready for you

Are you ready for me
C              Em                Am
'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through
                     F          G
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
           Am                F          G
That I'm ready to show you, I'm ready to show you, yeah
C                    Em                Am
I'll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
      C
I need you
           Em
I need you now
           Am
I need you now
          Am
I'm ready now
