Matters Of Blood And Connection by Dashboard Confessional
Matters Of Blood And Connection
Intro:
G C
G Am
Why do you speak with that accent now?
F C
Everyone knows you're not from the streets.
G Am
You went to prep school in Cambridge,
F C
With daughters and sons of the privileged elite.
G Am
Their fortunes from shipping and industry,
F C
Their futures in yacht clubs and tails.
G Am
So why do you speak with that accent now?
F Am
Everyone knows you're moonlighting here.
F
To avail yourself of your heritage,
C
For a season or two in the sun.
G
Draw well from the funds in the trust,
Am
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons,
F
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
C G
For you it's a matter of blood and connections
C G C
Of blood and connections.
G Am
So who do you fool with that costume now?
F C
Everyone knows you're not who you seem
G Am
You've got a hard way about you
F Am
For someone whose passage is already paid
F
By the sins and the schemes of your father
C
And the infinite reach of his arm
G
Draw well from the funds in the trust,
Am
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons,
F
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
C
For you it's a matter of blood
G
Drink well from your bottomless cup
Am
And bask in your good fortune
F
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
G Am
For you it's a matter of blood and connections
C
So where will you be when you tire of the fun
F
The escape, the charade, and your time in the sun
C
I know everyone does their own reinvention
G Am
But yours has a taste that's hard to swallow
C
And what will you tell of your tenure with us?
F
Will you build yourself up, like the size of your hunt?
C
If they're anything like what you've been telling us,
G
Those stories will make true believers
C
Of the chumps and the fools.
G Am
So why do you speak with that accent now?
F C
Everyone knows you're not from the streets.
