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.

Verse: Cm D# (or G#m7)
I think the kids are in trouble
Em A
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Cm D#
Give them ice for their fevers
Em A
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
2nd Verse = Same chords like 1st.
We live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Chorus:
Cm D# G# Cm
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
D# G#
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything
3rd Verse same chords like 1st verse (Cm D# Fm Bb)
It's a Hollywood summer
You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything
4th V same chords like 1st verse
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone
Same chords as for 1st Chorus
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
Bridge:
D# Cm Gm Bb
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
D# Cm Gm Bb
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
D# Cm Gm Bb
'Cause I'm evil
D# Cm Gm Bb
'Cause I'm evil
Verse: same chords as 1st (Cm D# Fm Bb)
I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
Verse: same chords as 1st
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Chorus (Cm D# G#)
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
Outro = Bridge: D# Cm Gm Bb)
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
