Slipped Chords & Lyrics - The National

Capo 4

[Am]I'm in[G] the city[C] you hate[F]d, my eyes are fallen
Counting the clicks with the living dead, my eyes are red
I'm in the crush and I hate it, my eyes are fallen

[G]I'm having t[C]rouble inside m[F]y skin
I try to keep my skeletons in

[Am]Is it [G]weird to be bac[C]k in the south? A[F]nd can they even tell
That the city girl was ever there Or anywhere?

[G]I'm having t[C]rouble inside m[F]y skin
I try to keep my skeletons in

[G]I'll be[C] a friend[F] and a fuck-u[Am]p And everythi[G]ng

[Am]But I'll never be an[G]ything you ever want me to be

And for the Chorus:

[C]I keep c[G]oming back he[F]re where ever[Am]ything slipp[G]ed
But I will not spill my guts out... I
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out

[Am]I don'[G]t need an[C]y help to[F] be breakable, believe me
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me

[G]It'll be eas[C]y to cover [F]
Gather my skeletons far inside

[G]It'll b[C]e summer in Dallas Be[F]fore I realiz[G]e

[Am]I don'[G]t want yo[C]u to grie[F]ve But I want you to sympathize (alright)
I can't blame you for losing Your mind for a little while (so did I)
I don't want you to change But I want you to recognize (that I)

[G]It'll be eas[C]y to cover [F]
Gather my skeletons far inside

[G]It'll b[C]e summer in Dallas Be[F]fore you real[G]ize

[C]But I'll never be a[G]nything you ever want me to be

[C]I keep c[G]oming back he[F]re where ever[Am]ything slipp[G]ed
But I will not spill my guts out... I

[C]I keep c[G]oming back he[F]re where ever[Am]ything slipp[G]ed
But I will not spill my guts out
