Lost Coastlines - Okkervil River
Chords Used: C, Am, F, G
Capo 2nd Fret
C
Packed and all eyes turned in no one to see on the key
Am
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding
F G
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in
C
Cause who said sailing is fine
Am
Leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride
F G
Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet
C Am
Sit down sit down on the proud wave bye
F C
There might not be another star farther on the line
C Am
Look out look out at each town that glides by
F C
And there's another crowd to drown in crying eyes
C Am
And see how that light you love now just won't shine
F C G
There might just be another star that's high and far in some other sky
C
We sing is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set
Am
And decide what a dance might mean to it
F G
Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape
C
We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
Am
From the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags
F G
Black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated foreign war
C
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him
Am F C
But we find that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines
C Am
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
F C
And we don't recognize the names upon strange signs
C Am
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide
F C G
Well we have lost our way nobody's gonna say it outright
C
Just go la la la la la la la la la
