Being There

Faded Paper Figures


Tom: G

G      Bm             Em
Moving    days are coming
         G        Bm                Em
Like the traffic,    full of broken worlds
G           Bm                      Em
Being there    is harder when you feel it
          G       Bm     Em
When your self is long deferred

[Chorus]
         C        Am
And when you talk to me
C          Am
Don't talk through me
G
My remote control
         C             Am           G
Keep you lit up on the screen in my soul

[Instrumental]
G Bm Em x2

[Verse]
G      Bm         Em
Typing    in your office
           G       Bm     Em
While I am holding up the line

[Chorus]
         C        Am
And when you talk to me
C          Am
Don't talk through me
G
Your remorse is code
        C          Am
But you talk right to me
C          Am
Talk right through me
G
My remote control
          C             Am           Em
Keeps you lit up on the screen in my soul

[Bridge]
D#                  D                   A
  That's what these zeroes and ones are saying
Em             D#
  That's the code
          D
That's it
A                     C
Zero as a place means one

Zero as a place means...

[Verse]
G      Bm                Em
Absent  -  minded on the freeway
          G    Bm        Em
Just pull over    on the shoulder

[Outro]
G Bm Em x5
G Bm G
