Chords
I'm a huge fan of The National, but their songs are not easy to play or to cover
(most of them at least), neither to figure out actually :). The other chords
available here are based on a live show from The National and so are accurate to
the way the band plays the song, but they aren't really that much fun to play on
an acoustic guitar. I just tabbed my own version in about 10 minutes with pretty
much only simple chords.
Chords used:
G: 320033 or 320003
C: 032010
C2: 030010 (don't know the name of this chord)
C/E: 020010
[Verse]
G C C2 C/E G Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on C C2 C/E Nana na na G Can you carry my drink I have everything else C I can tie my tie all by myself G C C2 C/E I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why G C Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe G C C2 C/E is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
[Chorus]
G C C2 Tired and wired we ruin too easy G C sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave G C C2 G Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours C C2 C/E Nana na na G While it sings to itself or whatever it does C when it sings to itself of its long lost loves G C C2 C/E I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
[Pre-Chorus]
G C C2 Tired and wired we ruin too easy G C C2 sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave G C but I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come
C2 C/E G C
C/E
on a different day just like this one[Chorus]
G We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us C do whatever the TV tells us G C C2 stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days C/E G We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us C do whatever the TV tells us G C stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
[Bridge]
C2 C/E G so worry not C all things are well C2 C/E G we’ll be alright C C2 C/E we have our looks and perfume
[Chorus]
G stay inside til somebody finds us C do whatever the TV tells us G C stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz C2 C/E G so worry not C all things are well C2 C/E G we’ll be alright C C2 G we have our looks and perfume on
