The National - A Reasonable Man (I Don't Mind): chords

A                                F#m
I don't mind losing a girl to herself
  Bm                         E
A quiet love is better than none
       A                               F#m
And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend
   Bm                       E
If only to be a reasonable man

And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best
A careful heart is better than none
I don't mind painting my back with the past
Pictures in resolute pain
Smoothing the laugh o'er the lane

Chorus:
          F#m
But if it happens to you
     Bm
The same kind of deal
   C#m
I recommend fire
                G  E
Instead of the fool

A                                      F#m
I don't mind shaking your hand at the door
   Bm                     E
If only to be a resolute man
(Pictures in resolute pain)
   D                      E
If only to be a resolute man
   F#m                    E
If only to be a resolute man

Chorus

I don't mind shaking your hand at the door
If only to be a resolute man
(Pictures in resolute pain)
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a resolute man

If only to be a reasonable man
If only to be a reasonable man
