The National - Cardinal Song: chords

F#m
Never look her in the eyes
A
Never tell the truth
F#m
If she knows you're paper
      A
You know she'll have to burn you

Never tell the one you want that you do
Save it for the deathbed
When you know you kept her wanting you

    Bm
And do
Em                      D F#m G
Everything she'd never do

Fall asleep with stranger's wives
The wild wives of unknown men
Good for you, you've just become
Just another one of them

A
Never say you miss her
F#m          G  Bm
Never say a word

Chorus:
    Bm Em                      D F#m G
And do everything she'd never do
D                A
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes

Let her treat you like a criminal
So you can treat her like a priest
Girls forgive my human mind
Girls forgive me one more time
Never tell the one you love that you do
Save it for the deathbed

Chorus:
And do everything she'd never do
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes

Jesus Christ you have confused me
Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
Forgive me girls I am confused
Stiff and pissed and lost and loose

Jesus Christ you have confused me
Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
Forgive me girls I am confused
Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
