Phantom Limb by The Shins
Phantom Limb
A D
Frozen into coats,
Bm
White girls of the North,
G D
Fire past one, fire the one,
D
They are the fabled lambs,
E
A Sunday ham,
Bm
The ancient snow.
A D
And they can float above the grass,
A
In circles if they tried,
G D
A latent power I know they hide,
D
To keep some hope alive,
E Bm
That a girl like I could ever try,
A
Could ever try.
F#m D E
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
F#m
A phantom and a fly,
F# D E
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.
A D
And weakened falling eyes,
Bm
In cheap shots from the tribe,
G D
And we're often in Marcus’ porch again,
D E
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
Bm
And pilfered booze.
A D
We wandered through your mama's house,
A
And the milk from the window lights,
G D
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
D
This is that foreign land,
E
With the sprayed on tans,
Bm
And it all feels fine,
A
Beats circus slime,
F#m D E
So, when they tap our mundane heads,
F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
F#m
To fall along in our crime,
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.
Chords for breakdown (when he ooo's for a while) :
A - D - E
repeat chorus and breakdown a few times.

File past one five and one
C
They are the fabled lambs,

The EHS norm
G C

G
In circles if they tried,
F C
A latent power I know they hide,
C
To keep some hope alive,
D Am
That a girl like I could ever try,
G
Could ever try.
Em C D
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
Em
A phantom and a fly,
E C D
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.
(Then Just Repeat chords)
A week of rolling eyes falling eyes,
And cheap shots from the trite,
And we're off to Nemarca’s porch again,
Another afternoon with the goat head tunes,
And pilfered booze.
We wandered through her mama's house,
The milk from a window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Be it silk or slime
So, when they tap our Monday heads,
Two zombies walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
To fall along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.
So, when they tap our Sunday heads,
Two zombies walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
To fall along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
With no connection.
