Author/Artist: Jon Brion Title: Meaningless Album: Meaningless Please send me any corrections or additions ------------------------------------------ Chords: -002220 -002200 -000232 -000230 -x46464 -022100 -xx4232 -022000 -x24432 -x13331 -x46654 -032010 -320003 Note: Jon plays a little figure in certain portions of the song alternating between A and Asus2 and D and Dsus2. For the purpose of this tab I will mark them as A* and D* respectively. Just listen and you will figure it out. Intro: * * * * Verse 1: * * oil tankers and the national guard * I came to meet you but I camped out in your yard why turn the key there's so much here to see these are my memories Chorus 1: of precious places and precious things that were meaningless before * * * * We'd seen them together Verse 2: * * Old hinges squeaking in the rain * That hotel by the highway where we stayed There's something every hour Who needs the Eiffel tower When we've got memories Chorus 2: Of precious places, precious things That were meaningless before * * We'd seen them together Bridge: The pen, the car, the paint, the peel The moon and star, the message clear Liberty raised her hand to us As if to say its ok Live today, live today Verse 3: * * I said don't leave me don't break the tie * Then I left you and time went rolling by Now here's what I can't stand I know that every landmark Triggers memories Chorus 3: Of stupid places and silly things That were meaningless before We'd seen them together Meaningless before We'd seen them together They were meaningless before * * * We'd seen them together * * * * * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm very sure you guys can figure it out from here. This is not EXACTLY how jon plays it on the album but, hey, at least you got the chords.
