The National - Son: chords

            C
And if you follow me, son
                  Cmaj7
The wind'll wrap around you
Carry you from the ground
You will never be alone

Your weight will turn to sunlight
That's falling on a girl
You're still inside the world
She's reading books from empty women
They're giving beauty tips from empty hips

Chorus:
     F                       C/E
And how is the water of the rain
     F                  C/E
And how is the air of the wind
     F                      C/E
And how are the arms of your mother
               F    C/E
She's holding you in

F                    G               C/E
Watch them as they try to fly their kites inside
       C
their bedrooms
That were only built for drinking
Your thoughts,
they never lasted long when you were under the sky
Above it you can hold a thought forever

Chorus - x2

She's holding you in
She's holding you in
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
