The National - The Perfect Song: chords

Em                           C
ten years older than I was what
I brought you down to see,
  G
what I thought would make you fall in love
Em                         C
wearing off on our dreams someday man I’m gonna be
    G
no different than the other rivers

I tried to look at you but I couldn't break the ice
We stood out there for an hour and were freezing
You put your hand around my back
I guess you thought I needed that

Chorus:
G                 C
I never tried to find you
                        G
and I hope you don't remember me and
                    C
I hope you’re not alone

You wanted me to take you home
You said you'd rather be alone
I never thought of that
The car was warm and we had wine
But I couldn't find the perfect song

Now I own furniture, a 401, and crow's feet
And I can't even remember the car
Sometimes I can feel your weight
when I close my eyes
Seven times I was under you

Chorus:
I never try to find you
I hope you don't remember me
But I hope you're not alone
And I don't wanna know what you're thinking
I'm looking out the window
Just drinking and drinking and drinking

Em
shallow frame and shaky sticks
    C                         G
but I know there's a river in me
Em
shallow minded adult tricks
    C                          G
but I know there's a river in me
Em
shallow frame and shaky sticks
    C                          G
but I know there's a river in me

Chorus:
I never try to find you
I hope you don't remember me
But I hope you're not alone
And I don't wanna know what you're thinking
I'm looking out the window
Just sitting there
Sitting down and fucking drinking
