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.

Tabbed by: cdosborn
Tuning: Standard
Difficulty: Novice
Note: These are the chords that will allow you to play along with the song
accurately. I spend some time to get the voicing correctly. I generally just pick
the notes in the downward motion, but listen to the song for the correct
technique. The entire song is the same sequence of four chords, so I included only
the chords over the first verse and chorus, albeit they are the same. Any
questions forward to cdosborn[at]uw[dot]edu.

Verse:
D#m G#
You keep a lot of secrets
F# Fm7b5
And I keep none
D#m G#
Wish I could go back
F# Fm7b5
And keep some
Chorus:
D#m G#
You're fireproof
F# Fm7b5
Nothing breaks your heart
D#m G#
You're fireproof
F# Fm7b5
It's just the way you are
You tell me I'm waiting
To find someone
Who isn't so hopeless
But there's no one
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
How'd you get so far
You're a needle in the hay
You're the water at the door
You're a million miles away
Doesn't matter anymore
Jennifer you are not the only reason
My head is boiling and my hands are freezing
Jennifer you are not the only one
To sit awake until the wild feelings leave you
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
It's just the way you are
You're fireproof
It's what you always say
You're fireproof
I wish I was that way
