The National

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.

On the intro chords the note after the slash is the bass note.
The chords and bass will be difficult to play on guitar,
so I'd just play the chord unless you're playing piano. Suggestions
welcome, I'm not the best at picking out weird chords.

Ab/C Cm/Eb Gm/Bb Bb/D Bb/D F5/C F5/C

Bb/D Bb/D F5/C F5/C

Dm C Bb C
I was in a fog I didn't notice everything
Dm C Bb C
Was coming all apart inside of me
Dm C Bb C
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
Dm C Bb C
You made a slow disaster out of me

Dm C Bb C
There's a radiant darkness upon us
Dm C Bb C
I don't want you to worry
Dm C Bb C
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Dm C Bb C
Baby, you better hurry

C G Bb F
You were a kindness when I was a stranger
C G Bb F
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
C G Bb F
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
C G Bb F
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

C G Bb F
It doesn't work that way
C G Bb F C
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
G Bb F
It doesn't work that way
C G Bb F
Don't leave me here alone

Dm C Bb C
I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
Dm C Bb C
Can't feel this way forever, I mean
Dm C Bb C
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
Dm C Bb C
You made a slow disaster out of me

Dm C Bb C
There's a radiant darkness upon us
Dm C Bb C
I don't want you to worry
Dm C Bb C
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Dm C Bb C
Baby, you better hurry

C G Bb F
