Matters of Blood and Connection Dashboard Confessional
I don't think this is the correct way to play this song, but it sounds similar enough.
Intro:
[G] [C]
Why do you sp[G]eak with that accent [Am]now?
Everyone kn[F]ows you're not from the st[C]reets.
You went to p[G]rep school in Cambridge,[Am]
With daughters and s[F]ons of the privileged el[C]ite.
Their fortunes from shi[G]pping and industry[Am],
Their futures in ya[F]cht clubs and tails.[C]
So why do you sp[G]eak with that accent n[Am]ow?
Everyone kn[F]ows you're moonlighting h[Am]ere.
To avail yourself of your he[F]ritage,
For a season or two in the s[C]un.
Draw well from the funds in the t[G]rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s[Am]ons,
For us it's a matter of ch[F]arging the gates
For you it's a matter of b[C]lood and conn[G]ections
Of bl[C]ood and conne[G]ctions. [C]
So who do you f[G]ool with that costume n[Am]ow?
Everyone kn[F]ows you're not who you s[C]eem
You've got a ha[G]rd way about you[Am]
For someone whose p[F]assage is already p[Am]aid
By the sins and the schemes of your fa[F]ther
And the infinite reach of his a[C]rm
Draw well from the funds in the t[G]rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s[Am]ons,
For us it's a matter of cha[F]rging the gates
For you it's a matter of bl[C]ood
Drink well from your bottomless c[G]up
And bask in your good fo[Am]rtune
For us it's a matter of ch[F]arging the gates
For you it's a matter of bl[G]ood and conne[Am]ctions
So where will you be when you tire of the f[C]un
The escape, the charade, and your time in the s[F]un
I know everyone does their own reinve[C]ntion
But yours has a ta[G]ste that's hard to sw[Am]allow
And what will you tell of your tenure with [C]us?
Will you build yourself up, like the size of your h[F]unt?
If they're anything like what you've been telling [C]us,
Those stories will m[G]ake true believers
Of the chumps and the foo[C]ls.
So why do you sp[G]eak with that accent n[Am]ow?
Everyone kn[F]ows you're not from the str[C]eets.
