The National - Apartment Story
I'm not 100% sure of all the chord names.
I've watch this a few times on acoustic on youtube.
Its not 100% accurate with the way he plays it but these shapes and chords work perfect.
For the B and Em in the chorus he plays it closer to the head of the guitar but
it works fine this way too.
Standard tuning - No Capo.

[B/F#]Be still for a second while I [B/G#]try and try to pin your flow[C#/D#]ers on[E]
[B/F#]Can you carry my drink I have everything else
I can[B/G#] tie my tie all by myself
I?m get[C#/D#]ting tied, I?m for[E]getting why
[B/F#]Oh we?re so disarming darling, ever[B/G#]ything we did believe
is [C#/D#]diving diving diving diving [E]off the balcony
[B]Tired and wired we ruin too eas[Em]y
[C#/D#]sleep in our clothes and wait for winter [E]to leave
[B/F#]Hold ourselves together with our [B/G#]arms around the stere[C#/D#]o for hours[E]
[B/F#]While it sings to itself or whatever it does
when it [B/G#]sings to itself of its long lost loves
I?m get[C#/D#]ting tied, I?m for[E]getting why
[B]Tired and wired we ruin too easy[Em]
[C#/D#]sleep in our clothes and wait for wi[E]nter to leave
[B]but I?ll be with you behind the [Em]couch when they c[B]ome
on a different day just like [Em]this one

[B/G#]do whatever the TV tells us
[C#/D#]stay inside our rosy-minded [E]fuzz for days
[B/F#]We?ll stay inside til somebody finds us
[B/G#]do whatever the TV tells us
[C#/D#]stay inside our rosy-minded [E]fuzz
[B]so worry not
[Em]all things are well
[B]we?ll be alright
we have our l[Em]ooks and perfume
[B/F#]stay inside til somebody finds us
[B/G#]do whatever the TV tells us
[C#/D#]stay inside our rosy-minded [E]fuzz
[B]so worry not
[Em]all things are well
[B]we?ll be alright
we have our l[Em]ooks and perfume on
