The National & St Vincent - Sleep All Summer [Bass Intro] [Verse 1]
      A            E          D                 E
Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean

A                   E               D                  E
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue

A           E                D                 E
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things

A          E                 D                  E
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street
(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime) [Bridge]
Bm                E         Bm                E
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave

        A                                      E                          D
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

         A                             E                               D
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand

                    E
And hold it in your hands again
[Chorus]
A              E
Cold ways kill cool lovers

D                    E
Strange ways we used each other

A             E                      D  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?

A                              E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another

D          E
The way we sleep all summer

A                E                      D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
[Refrain]
F#m              E              D       A   A/G#
    Combing over Broken Cross I held on you

F#m                E                  D      D
    Haunted by the ghost of something new
[Instrumental] A E A E [Verse 2]
         A              E          D              E
Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over

A               E                D              E
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes

A               E                    D                     E                 A
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart to keep a world from caving in

A              E               D               E
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue
(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime) [Bridge]
Bm               E            Bm                  E
But everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave

        A                                      E                          D
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

         A                             E                                D
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand

                    E
And hold it in your hands again
[Chorus]
A              E
Cold ways kill cool lovers

D              E
Strange way we love to suffer

A             E                      D  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?

A                               E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another

D          E
The way we sleep all summer

A             E                      D  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
[Outro]
A             E                      D  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?

A             E                      D  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?

F#m           E                      D
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
