The National - Alien: chords

Am                          F
Try not to worry there's a voiceover
C          G
Go on, go quiet for a change
Am                    F
We can dial down the daylight a little
C                             G
I think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains

Am                    F
We must have hit our heads
                       C
Don't expect familiar feelings
                            G
No one knows what to talk about
                               Dm
Just come lay down here on the couch

Chorus:
           C
Drop down out of the clouds you're in
Em       G
Drop down like an alien
Dm              C
I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in
Em       G
Drop down like an alien

I'll find you something fun to wear
That goes along with all your feelings
We'll go extremely vivid
Buttoned up and unrevealing
I can be your nurse or something
Bring you watermelon nicotine
I can hold a swimmer here
To the shore by a string

Hurry up, we don't have time
Avalanches in my mind
I'm getting buried in this dream
It's just as soapy as it seems

Chorus

Am                     F
There's this one old idea I'm having
C                         G
Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't
       Am
stop laughing
                          F
Off the rails and no one's coming to get us
C                          G
I think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em
forget us

Hurry up, we don't have time
Avalanches in my mind
I'm getting buried in this dream
It's just as soapy as it seems
