The National - Turtleneck: chords

F             G#                 F           G#
Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me
F            G#                       F          G#
I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree
        A#m                 G#m
There's something about her eyes,
            A#m       G#m
I think her roots are rotten
   F              G#                   F
This must be the reason she wears her hair up in
 G#
knots, oh no

This is so embarrassin', ah, we're pissin' fits
Cryin' on our doorsteps in T-shirts loose and ripped
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them

Chorus:
C
Keep the weed next to the bed
A#
Light the water, check for lead
C
Dim the lights a little lower
A#
Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
C
Give the gift that fits your head
     A#                       F G# F G#
You have to get this turtleneck

The poor, they leave their cellphones in
the bathrooms of the rich
And when they try to turn 'em off everything
they switch to
Is just another man in shitty suits everybody's
cheerin' for
This must be the genius we've been
waitin' years for, oh no

This is so embarrassin', ah, we're pissin' fits
Cryin' on our doorsteps in T-shirts loose and ripped
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
