Biography:
The National is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band formed in 1999, by friends from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger in a distinctive, deep baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron Dessner (guitar, bass, keyboards), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).
Their self-titled debut album"The National" (Brassland 2001) was recorded and released before they had played even a single show.

Intro: Part I x2
Verse 1:
D
Put the pervert in a suit, take him out and light him up.
Get him out of your system, and warm your brand new bones.
G Bm
Sweep him in a shopping bag, call a car
G Bm D
And take him slow through NoLIta, driver surprise me.
Bridge 1:
Am Em
Any rose red whore, with impeccable taste.
G
We'll take the place over, and let him go.
Verse 2:
D
Driver surprise me. Whatever works for you.
I'm brand new and reinvented.
Without a scratch, daisy fresh and arrow straight.
G
That's a beautiful name.
Bm G
Can I take it because I don't remember anyone?
Bm
And nothing reminds me.
D
I'm a brand new house, red girl swings somewhere else.
Bridge 2:
D Dsus4
Driver surprise me.
Am Em
Any rose red whore, with impeccable taste.
G
We'll take the place over, let him go.
D Dsus4
We'll let him blow in the eyes,
Am
We'll let him float in the drinks
Em G
Of the beautiful boys and the beautiful girls.
Interlude:
D - Dsus4 - Am - Em - G
(Repeat the Interlude Chords for the end of the song)
I'll find her jewelry in my room,
I'll find her voice in my mouth.
I'll wear her clothes until she comes home.
I'll find her number in my phone.
Driver, darling, driver. Driver, darling, driver.
Driver, darling, driver. Let her take me home.
I'll find her jewelry in my room, I'll find her voice in my mouth.
I'll wear her clothes until she comes home.
