Jeff Tweedy – Having Been Is No Way To Be Live chords

[Verse 1]
GOh, I was naive
GMy shoes were untied
Bm                   G       CIn Heaven everything is just fine
                   GBut the phones are dead
GAnd so is the light
GAnd so are you
                    CAnd, honey, so am I
                    GBut the Earth still turns
GFor the unconcerned
                                   CDays pass below like train windows
                GI was a sapling tree
GThe birds looked like me
                                                COh, I begged my nerves to kick me something new

[Chorus]
                  AFrom time to time
              GI'd watch you sleep
Em           Bm                            C C GOh, I wonder how much freedom we can dream
         Am            Em            GAnd I'm sorry when you wake up to me

[Verse 2]
GI just got tired
                    Am       A     G        AmShining steady like a spider web's an empty stage
            GNow people say
GWhat drugs did you take
                        Em     GAnd why don't you start taking them again?
Em                         G* EmBut they're not my friends
             GAnd if I was dead
                         Bm   G            CWhat difference would it ever make to them
               AmIf I got high?

[Chorus]
             GFrom time to time
      Em               Bm               G    Em* GOh, I wonder how much freedom you would need
           Am    C                   GAnd I'd be sorry when you wake up to me

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
GI'm reaching out to you
            Em      GI'm writing all the time
                     Em     G           CI don't see deep but I see far and wide
      GI see dead trees
GBut the roots have leaves
                     Em       G    Em    G                     EmJust because I can't describe it doesn't mean I shouldn't try
                     GTo untwist the knife
      Em     GTo unmake my mind
C      G                          CHaving been is no way to be alive

[Chorus]
         AmAnd I'm alive
A                GWhen I watch you sleep
Em       Bm               C       Em* GI wonder how much freedom we need
        Am                       GAnd I'm here when you wake up to me
                   C                     GAnd I'm still here   when you wake up to me
