Jeff Tweedy - Having been is no way to be

^GOh, I was naive ^GMy shoes were untied ^BmIn Heaven everything ^Gis just ^Cfine But the phones are ^Gdead ^GAnd so is the light ^GAnd so are you And, honey, so am I ^C But the Earth still ^Gturns ^GFor the unconcerned Days pass below like train windows ^C I was a sapling ^Gtree ^GThe birds looked like me Oh, I begged my nerves to kick me something new ^C

From time to time ^A I'd watch you ^Gsleep ^EmOh, I wonder ^Bmhow much freedom we can dream ^{C C G} And I'm s^Amorry when you ^Emwake up to me ^G

^GI just got tired Shining steady like ^Ama spider ^Aweb's ^Gan empty ^Amstage Now people s^Gay ^GWhat drugs did you take And why don't you start ^Emtaking ^Gthem again? Em G* Em But they're not my friends And if I was ^Gdead What difference would it ^Bmever ^Gmake to them ^C If I got high? ^Am

From time to ^Gtime Em Bm G Em* G Oh, I wonder how much freedom you would need And I'd be ^Amsorry ^Cwhen you wake up to ^Gme

^GI'm reaching out to you I'm writing ^Emall the ^Gtime I don't see deep but ^EmI see f^Gar and wide ^C I see ^Gdead trees ^GBut the roots have leaves Just because I can't ^Emdescribe ^Git do^Emesn't ^Gmean I shouldn't try ^Em To untwist the knife ^G To unm^Emake my ^Gmind ^CHaving ^Gbeen is no way to be alive ^C

And I'm a^Amlive ^AWhen I watch you ^Gsleep Em Bm C Em* G I wonder how much freedom we need And I'm ^Amhere when you wake up to ^Gme And I'm still here ^C when you wake up to ^Gme
