The National - You Were a Kindness: chords

Dm          C            A#           F
I was in a fog I didn't notice everything
    Dm           C             A# F
Was coming all apart inside of me
       Dm          C       A#            F
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
     Dm            C            A# F
You made a slow disaster out of me

There's a radiant darkness upon us
I don't want you to worry
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Baby, you better hurry

C           G            A#         F
You were a kindness when I was a stranger
    C          G           A#         F
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
C             G             A#          F
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
C               G         A#         F
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

Chorus:
C G         A#        F
It doesn't work that way
C        G      A#             F       C
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
    G       A#        F
It doesn't work that way
C G             A#    F
Don't leave me here alone

I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
Can't feel this way forever, I mean
There wasn't any way for anyone to settle in
You made a slow disaster out of me

There's a radiant darkness upon us
But I don't want you to worry
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Baby, you better hurry

You were a kindness when I was a stranger
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like

Chorus
