The National - New Order T-Shirt Chords

[Intro]
F Am C C/B
 
[Verse]
F                          Am
How you tapped on a box of blue American Spirits
C              C/B
At Anyway Cafe a little under a month
F                               Am                      C         C/B
Before the ashes and management capital files filled the streets
F                             Am
How we wove through the cones walking home
                    C                         C/B
To the place on Atlantic you shared with your hilarious sister
F                           Am               C         C/B
Kicking off your black flats, demolished and laughing
 
[Chorus]
C             F
I keep what I can of you
G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
F
You in my New Order T-shirt
G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
 
[Verse]
F                   Am                         C
When you rescued me from the customs cops in Hawaii
                     C/B                    F            Am
When I shut down the place with my Japanese novelty bomb
        C              C/B
And you dad came along
F                      Am
How you had me lay down for a temperature check
C                          C/B
With the cool of your hand on the back of my neck
F             Am                        C         C/B
When I said, "I whink I'm finally going crazy for real"
 
[Chorus]
C             F
I keep what I can of you
G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
F
You in my New Order T-shirt
G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
C         F
I flicker through
G
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
C           F
You in a Kentucky aquarium
G
Talking to a shark in the corner
 
[Bridge]
Am            Em
You in a bath on the phone
F                     G                        Am
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving
Em                 F      G
Than staying in it alone
Am            Em
You in a bath on the phone
F                     G                        Am
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving
Em                 F      G
Than staying in it alone
 
[Verse]
F                           Am
When you cried at the beach and recovered in seconds
C                          C/B
And said everything's fine but I knew that it wasn't
F                           Am                 C     C/B
The you stayed out of reach of me for almost a year
F                            Am
How you looked like a poster of a '70s movie
C                       C/B                   F
Standing outside at the base of your magazine skyscr*per
Am                C               G
Waiting for me to go drinking downtown
 
[Chorus]
C             F
I keep what I can of you
G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
F
You in my New Order T-shirt
G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
C         F
I flicker through
G                                    C
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
            F
You in a Kentucky aquarium
G
Talking to a shark in the corner
C             F
I keep what I can of you
G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
F
You in my New Order T-shirt
G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
Am        F
I flicker through
G
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
Am          F
You in a Kentucky aquarium
G
Talking to a shark in the corner
