Okkervil River Lost Coastlines Lyrics

2 guitars
1st one with capo on the 2nd fret
2nd one without capo
Play these chords during the whole song and you've got it.
Little riff (1st guitar)
or
Little riff (2nd guitar)
You can easily figure out the rest of these riffs.
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key. No one waving for
m
me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I
didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the
m
faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep
inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.
m
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye, there might not be another star,
m
farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and
there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you
m
love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high
and far in some other sky.
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and
m
decide what a dance might mean to it. Ruining the place where the ensuing
may lay escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from
m
the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered
rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war.
m
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him but we find that the maps he
sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen
m
has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon strange
signs.
m
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...
etc...
