Lincoln Avenue Tab

by Train


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:
