The National feat Bon Iver - Weird Goodbyes

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C Em G D

[Hook]
C Em
Memorize the bathwater, memorize the air
G D
There’ll come a time I’ll wanna know when I was here
C Em
Names on the doorframes, inches and ages
G D
Handprints in concrete at the softest stages
C Em G D
I don’t know why I don’t try harder
C Em G
I feel like throwin’ towels into water

[Verse]
C G/B
Get it down to nothin’, everything that matters
D/A
Fever flashes, eyelashes and traffic patterns
C Em
Humidity, history, chemistry and panic
D/A D
Swimsuits in the windows of electric minivans
C Em G D
I don’t know why I don’t try harder
C Em G D
I’ve been goin’ down some, some strange water

[Pre-chorus]
C Em
Move forward now, there’s nothin’ to do
G D
Can’t turn around, I can’t follow you
C G/B
Your coat’s in my car, I guess you forgot
D/A
It’s crazy, the things we let go of

[Chorus]
C G/B
It finally hits me, a mile’s drive
D/A
The sky is leaking, the windshield’s crying
C G/B
I’m feelin’ sacred, my soul is stripped
D/A
Radio’s painful, the words are clipped
C G/B
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D/A
My car is creepin’, I think it’s dyin’
C G/B
I’m pullin’ over until it heals
D/A
I’m on a shoulder of lemon fields

[Bridge]
Am Em G D

Am Em
What was I even leavin’ for?
G D
I keep goin’ back and forth
Am Em
I think now I’m about to see
G D D
Didn’t how sad it’d be

[Hook]
C Em
Memorize the bathwater, memorize the air
G D
There’ll come a time I’ll wanna know when I was here
C Em
Names on the doorframes, inches and ages
G D
Handprints in concrete at the softest stages
C Em G D
I don’t know why I don’t try harder
C Em G D
I feel like throwin’ towels into water

[Pre-chorus]
C Em
Move forward now, there’s nothin’ to do
G D
Can’t turn around, I can’t follow you
C Em
Your coat’s in my car, I guess you forgot
D
It’s crazy, the things we let go of

[Chorus]
C G/B
It finally hits me, a mile’s drive
D/A
The sky is leaking, the windshield’s crying
C G/B
I’m feelin’ sacred, my soul is stripped
D/A
Radio’s painful, the words are clipped
C G/B
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D/A
My car is creepin’, I think it’s dyin’
C G/B
I’m pullin’ over until it heals
D/A
I’m on a shoulder of lemon fields

[Outro]
C G/B
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D/A
My car is creepin’, I think it’s dyin’
C G/B
I’m pullin’ over until it heals
D/A
I’m on a shoulder of lemon fields
