The National - Quiet Light: chords

B         G#m                F#
I used to fall asleep to you talking to me,
I don't listen to anything now
Nothing to do with us
I'm just so tired of thinking about everything
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
Between you and me,
I thought it would all last a little while longer

Chorus:
                     E                     C#m
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
                   G#m                  F#
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
                     E                        C#m
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
                        G#m              F#
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

You don't know anything
I think about you way more than anything else
I'm not that spiritual
I still go out all the time to department stores
Everything I need,
but none of this is getting me anywhere good
Between you and me
I still fall apart at the thought of your voice

Chorus:
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I'm learning to live without
the heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time
there's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do

        C#m
I can't help it
    G#m                 F#                E
It 's you that I think I hear in the quiet light
      C#m
Am I crazy?
   G#m                        F#
You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what
     E
I'm saying
     C#m           G#m                    F#
Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone
              E
in the quiet light
    C#m                      G#m
I'm always thinking you're behind me
             B                       F#
And I turn around and you're always there

Chorus:
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die, inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I'm learning to live without
the heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every
time there's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do
