Phantom Limb chords by The Shins

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA        D MajorD
Frozen into coats,
           B minorBm
White girls of the North,
G+G       D MajorD
Fire past one, fire the one,
D MajorD
They are the fabled lambs,
E MajorE
A augmentedA Sunday ham,
B minorBm
The ancient snow.
      A augmentedA            D MajorD
And they can float above the grass,
        A augmentedA
In circles if they tried,
 G+G          D MajorD
A augmentedA latent power I know they hide,
D MajorD
To keep some hope alive,
E MajorE          B minorBm
That a girl like I could ever try,
      A augmentedA
Could ever try.

F# minorF#m      D MajorD        E MajorE
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
        F# minorF#m
A augmentedA phantom and a fly,
F#F#        D MajorD       E MajorE
Follow the lines and wonder why

There's no connection.


A augmentedA             D MajorD
And weakened falling eyes,
             B minorBm
In cheap shots from the tribe,
G+G                D MajorD
And we're often in Marcus' porch again,
D MajorD                E MajorE
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
   B minorBm
And pilfered booze.
       A augmentedA          D MajorD
We wandered through your mama's house,
             A augmentedA
And the milk from the window lights,
      G+G           D MajorD
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
       D MajorD
This is that foreign land,
       E MajorE
With the sprayed on tans,
       B minorBm
And it all feels fine,
        A augmentedA
Beats circus slime,

F# minorF#m      D MajorD       E MajorE
So, when they tap our mundane heads,
            F# minorF#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F#F#          D MajorD        E MajorE
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F# minorF#m        D MajorD        E MajorE
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
         F# minorF#m
To fall along in our crime,
F#F#           D MajorD         E MajorE
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,

With no connection.
