Matters of Blood and Connection Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Why[G] do you speak[Em]
with that accent [C]now?
Everyone [F]knows you're not
from the [G]streets
You went to [Em]prep school in Cambridge
[C]With daughters and son[F]s
of the privileged [G]elite
Their fortunes from [Em]shipping and industry
[D]Their futures in yacht clubs and tails
[G]So why do you spe[Em]ak with that
accent [C]now?
Everyone [F]knows you're [Em]moonlighting here
To avail yourself of your [F]heritage
For a season or two in the [G]sun

[Verse 2]
Draw well from the funds in the [D]trust
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate [Em]sons
For us it's a matter of [F]charging the gates
For you it's a matter of [G]blood
[Em]and connecti[C]ons[F]

[Verse 3]
Of [G]blood [Em]and connect[C]ions

[Verse 4]
[G]So who do you foo[Em]l with that
costume [C]now?
Everyone knows you're
not who you [G]seem
You've got a [Em]hard way about you
[D]For someone whose
passage is already [Em]paid

[Verse 5]
By the sins and the schemes [F]of your father
And the infinite reach of his [G]arm

[Verse 6]
Draw well from the funds in the [D]trust
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate [Em]sons
For us it's a matter of [F]charging the gates
For you it's a matter of [G]blood
Drink well from your bottomless [D]cup
And bask in your good for[Em]tune
For us it's a matter [C]of charging the gates
For you it's a matter of
[D]blood and connec[Em]tions
So where will you be when
you tire of the [G]fun
The escape, the charade,
and your time in the sun[C]?
I know everyone does their
[Em]own reinvention
But yours has a [D]taste that's
hard to swal[Em]low

[Verse 7]
And what will you [Em]tell of your tenure with us?
[G]Will you build yourself up,
like the size of your hunt?
[C]If they're anything like what you've
been telling [Em]us
Those stories will [D]make true believers
Of the chumps and the [G]fools

[Verse 8]
So why do [Em]you speak with
that accent [C]now?
Everyone [F]knows you're not from the [G]streets
