Uncomfortably Slow
Hand Built by robots
Updated, more advanced version of this song from the album Hand Built by Robots. This
pretty much exactly how he plays it. Capo 2nd, all fingerings and chord names adjusted
such. I know some of the chord names look a bit ridiculous, but just play the notes and
sounds right. You're going to love it, I promise.

On the E and D add9s in the verses and lead-ups he sometimes mutes the high E string (or
with the capo) also he sometimes plays it open, and sometimes plays without the add 9,
x54035, x32010 etc... He even plays it as a Dmaj7 right in the beginning, i.e. x3200x
to it closely and you'll get it. However I am just going to call them all add9s
this tab. You can pretty much use the Dadd9 and Dsus2M7 interchangeably.
Traveling again
I know exactly how it's gonna end
The routine day dream starts as I get off
I'm holding up the queue
Because my ticket won't go through
I know it should be simple but it's not
So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
C#half-dim F# Bsus2/7(9)
It feels like standing still but I know
Bmsus2/7(9/13) Eadd Dsus2M7 Eadd9 Dsus2M7
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow... yeah.. slowww..
Something's gotta change
I know i'm lucky in a lot of ways
So why do I want more
Than what I have?
Brace myself to hear the lies
I wonder if they know that I
Don't get the jokes but I just
Need to laugh
So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
C#half-dim F# Bsus2/7(9)
It feels like standing still but I know
Bmsus2/7(9/13) Eadd9 Dsus2M7 Eadd9
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow... yeah... slow
I'm just moving uncomfortably
Slow down
There's infinite detail
When you break it down
It all becomes simple how
It all becomes clearer now
So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
C#half-dim F# Bsus2/7(9)
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving sub-consciously
One day I guess i'll be
The man that you think you see
Bmsus2/7(9/13)
I'm just moving uncomfortably
Slow.......yeah ...slow
