The National is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band formed in 1999, by friends from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger in a distinctive, deep baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron Dessner (guitar, bass, keyboards), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).
Their self-titled debut album"The National" (Brassland 2001) was recorded and released before they had played even a single show.

C Don't make me read your mind F You should know me better than that C It takes me too much time F You should know me better than that C You're not that much like me F You should know me better than that C We have different enemies F You should know me better than that AmC I should leave it alone but you're not right AmC I should leave it alone but you're not right C Can't you write it on a wall F You should know me better than that C There's no room to write it all F You should know me better than that C Can you turn the TV down F You should know me better than that C There's too much crying in the sound F I should know you better than that AmC I should leave it alone but you're not right AmC I should leave it alone but you're not right
Chorus: AmFCF I should live in salt for leaving you behind CFC Behind C Think about something so much F You should know me better than that C Start to slide out of touch F You should know me better than that C Tell yourself it's all you know F You should know me better than that C Learn to appreciate the void F You should know me better than that
