Nickel Creek – Where The Long Line Leads (Guitar)

E
Well the line was so long I had to see where it led myself

       C                                                      E     A#dim
Pretty sure that I could feel what the think pieces said they felt

   Am
At least enough to follow the night's conversations

     C
At a party full of fellow wanna be sensations

        E
Saying that's what's going on and if you don't wanna be left behind

            C                                            E     A#dim
Be the next jam pumping in the background of everybody's grind

          Am
Streaming out of the windows of whatever we're driving

          C                                                       G
So that when we show up it sounds more like we're arriving at the big time

Em              G
We wanna have a big time

Em                 G
We're gonna have a big time

B                   C
Where the long line leads

               E
We only have a short time

   C#m        E        Edim
So make it a big one

    Am
And instead of the list you'll be on the marquee

      C                                        Em
Smoke rising from the fire where the long line leads

E
Well sign me up and tell me every last thing I'm gonna need to change

       C                                             E     A#dim
So no think piece can feel that I was ever any other way

             Am
And when they say I've hit my stride I'll be ready to strut

      C
Which foot you think'll look best in front of the other?

        E
Dance dancing up a hill to houses you can see from miles around

       C                                                           E     A#dim
Sure a quake will probably take em but we chance it to impress this town

     Am
To become one of the angels who have earned their wings

          C                                                   G
Flapping madly so they don't become the last big thing at the big time

Em              G
We wanna have a big time

Em                 G
We're gonna have a big time

B                   C
Where the long line leads

               E
We only have a short time

   C#m        E        Edim
So make it a big one

    Am
In the flames where we go to show off and be showed

         C                                        Em
Like it isn't what we're doing but how many other people know

Em                G
I'm gonna hit the big time

Em                 G
And when I hit the big time

Em                     G
Y'all are gonna have a big time

D                   C
Where the long line leads

              G
It might be a short time

Em                  G
But it's gonna be a big one

      Em                G
Gonna shake ya like the Big One

Em                  G
We're having us a big time

Em                     G
And we're gonna have a big time

       C            G
Showing everyone our big times

B              C
On our little feeds

               E
We only have a short time

                     E        Edim
But we're making it a big one

    Am
Til none of us have waited in a line so long

      C
Or so loudly told so many that's what's going on

      D7
Or so quietly wondered why we didn't feel the heat

        F7                                      E
Smoke rising from the ashes where the long line leads
