THE NATIONAL - I'LL STILL DESTROY YOU
[Verse]
G#sus4
It's so easy to set off
G#sus4
The molecules and the caplets
G#sus4
They all have something against me
G#sus4
Nothing I do makes me feel different
[Pre-Chorus]
C# A#m Fm
This one's like your sister's best friends in a bath calling you to join them
F#
Can't avoid them
C# A#m Fm
This one's like your mother's arms when she was young and sunburned in the '80s
F#
It lasts forever
[Verse]
F# A#m/F D#m
The more level they have me
F# A#m/F D#m G#
The more I cannot stand me
F# A#m/F D#m G#
I have helpless friendships
F# A#m/F D#m G#
And bad taste in liquids
[Pre-Chorus]
C# A#m
This one's like the wilderness without the world
Fm F#
I'm gonna miss those long nights with the windows open
C# A#m Fm
I keep re-reading the same lines always up at 5am every morning
F#
Like a baby
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# Fm F#
It's just the lights coming on
C# A#m G# Fm F#
It's just the lights coming on
F# A#m/F D#m G#
F# A#m/F D#m G#
[Verse]
F# A#m/F D#m G#
I have no positions
F# A#m/F D#m
No point of view or vision
F# A#m/F D#m G#
I'm just trying to stay in touch with
F# A#m/F D#m G#
anything I'm still in touch with
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
The sky's getting white
A#m Fm
I can't find a lighter anywhere I'm going crazy
F#
But I'm not crazy
C#
Put your heels against the wall
A#m Fm
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you
F#
I'll still destroy you
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# Fm F#
It's just the lights coming on
C# A#m G# Fm F#
It's just the lights coming on
