The National - Walk It Back: chords

             D                          A
I'm always thinking about useless things,
             E
I'm always checking out
            D                   A
I'm always mothering myself to bits,
             E
I'm always checking out

    D       A                       E        E/G#
Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
         D         A                  E
I won't let it, I won't let her ruin my head

Chorus:
Bm      E         F#m            A          D
I only take up a little of the collapsing space,
I better cut this off, don't wanna fuck it up
Bm      E         F#m           A           D
I only take up a little of the collapsing space,
I better cut this off, don't wanna fuck up the place
Bm E     F#m            A          D
I better walk it back, walk it back
              Bm            E             F#m
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back, walk it
       A           D
back, walk it back

I try to save it for a rainy day
It's raining all the time
Until everything is less insane
I'm mixing weed with wine

Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
I won't let it, I won't let it ruin my hair

Chorus:
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off, don't wanna fuck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off, don't wanna fuck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off, don't wanna fuck up the place

I better walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back,
walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back,
walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back,
walk it back, walk it back

E  G#m    C#m
I can't stay
E      G#m       C#m
And I can't come back
A             B
I just keep awake
A      E/G#   B
And I won't react
      E      G#m    C#m
I'll walk through Lawrencetown

Along the tracks
My own body in my arms
But I won't collapse
So don't go dark on me
It's all alright

A E/G#              B
  If I'm gonna get back to you someday
A      E/G#         B
  I'll need you last
