Tom: G
G D/F# Em C
I would have called late then again
G D/F#
What if you didn’t answer
C G Am G D/F#
Much like the times I’ve called before
G D/F# Em
I know you reach out when you can
C G D/F# C
Put all your daily chores to bed
G Am G D/F#
And when your heart and your brain isn’t racing anymore
[Chorus]
C A9
Busy people in the burning sand
Take a look up from your looking glass
D/F#
When you can
G D/F# Em
I would have moved your way but then
C G D/F# C
You never would have asked me to
G Am
We never put each other out
G D/F#
We just put each other on
G D/F# Em
And so I keep you on my mantle
C G D/F#
Right here beside my looking glass
C G Am G D/F#
Never far from how I see myself in this
[Chorus]
C A9
Busy people in the burning sand
Take a look up from your looking glass
D/F#
When you can
G D/F# Em C
I would have given you my last dime
G D/F#
10 silver pennies for to feed you with
C G Am G D/F#
I’m full of imaginary gifts
G D/F# Em
You called to tell me that I’m not alone
C G D/F#
You write to show me you can reach my home
C G Am G D/F#
You mean to tell that you've known all this time where it is.
[Chorus]
C A9
Busy people in the burning sand
Take a look up from your looking glass
D/F#
When you can
G D/F# Em C
I don’t take it when your call comes in
G D/F#
I sit and listen to it afterwards
C G Am G D/F#
I call you back when I’m feeling good and done with it
[Chorus]
C A9
Busy people in the burning sand
Take a look up from your looking glass
D/F#
When you can
C A9
Busy people in the burning sand
Take a look up from your looking glass
D/F#
When you can
