The National - Sleep well beast

^DWe've been stuck out here in the hallway for way way too long ^DI'm at a loss, I'm at a loss, I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped ^DGo back to sleep, let me drive, let me think, let me figure it out ^AHow to get us ^Dback to the ^Eplace where we were when we ^Dfirst went out

^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft ^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft

^DLosing parents, losing sense ^DI don't know what we should do ^DBecame a father when I was still a son, she brings it out in you ^DSee you at the end of the party with your wild white eyes ^DFilling up the teacup with gin in your secret postcard life

^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft ^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft ^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft ^AI'll tell you about it ^Dsome time, ^F#mthe time we ^Dleft

^DWe leave our saviors wrapped around the necks of new machines ^DOr at the ends of threads that hold their bodies to the ground ^DAnd then the men who look a little like they feel like me ^DOffered them some bottled water, then they cut them down ^DI came back to see if you were here, but everything was different ^DYour voice was low, you blended in, I could barely hear you speak ^DYou were always my last second bright spot in the distance ^DThought that you were something good ^DThat I would always keep

^EI'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast^{D E}I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast^{D E}I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast^{D E}I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast^D
