Faded Paper Figures


Tom: F

F      Am Dm                    C
There's a light on the floor
F     Am   Dm                    C
Shows your just out the door

[Pre Chorus]
     Gm      Bb      Dm
In a Russian film we belong
       F      Am         C
like a gentle jolt of montage
          Gm     Bb    Dm
where the mis-en-scene flies
         F     Am        C
back and forth into your eyes

[Chorus]
F     Am       Dm
I can hear you writing
                   C
I read between the lines
F     Am       Dm
I can hear you writing
                C
in pictographic signs

[Interlude]
Gm Bb Dm
F  Am C (x2)

[Verse]
F                        Am      C
There are shadows on the wall
F  Am  Dm                        C
in the caves where trains crawl

[Pre Chorus]
       Gm      Bb       Dm
We can cut our indirect hearts
         F     Am        C
when the edits keep us apart
         Gm  Bb  Dm
When the acetate lies
       F    Am         C             
in the darkness of our eyes

[Bridge]
F
All of these memories collide
F
this is the medium tonight
F
you and me editing time (x2)

Dm                            
All of these memories collide
F
this is the medium tonight
Dm      F          C
you and me editing time 

F      Am             Dm                          
All of these memories collide
Dm
this is the medium tonight
        F          C
you and me editing time 

[Chorus]
Gm    Bb         Dm
I can hear you writing
F      Am          C
I read between the lines
Gm    Bb         Dm
I can hear you writing
    F   Am      C
in pictographic signs (repeat)

[Outro]
F C
(repeat)
