The National é uma banda de rock alternativo formada em 1999 por amigos de Cincinnati, Ohio.
As influências vão de Bruce Springsteen a Tindersticks. E as músicas são escritas e cantadas por Matt Berninger com sua diferente voz de barítono
O resto da banda é formado por dois pares de irmãos: Aaron e Bryce Dessner e Scott e Bryan Devendorf. Padma Newsome, da banda Clogs, frequentemente colabora no teclado e nos arranjos da banda.
Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Bbm7GbDb So happy I was invited, give me a reason to get out of the city
GbDb See you inside watching swarms on TV
D Livin' or dyin' in New York it means nothing to me
Bbm7GbDb Gave my heart to the Army, the only sentimental thing I could think of
GbDb With cousins and colors and somewhere oVerseas
D But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like me
Bbm7GbDb I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now do you care if I stay?
GbDb You can put on your bathing suits
D And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
GbDb I want to sit in and die
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
GbDb I want to sit in and die
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Bbm7GbDb This pricey stuff makes me dizzy, guess I've always been a delicate man
GbDb Takes me a day to remember a day
D I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
Bbm7GbDb I was a comfortable kid, but I don't think about it much anymore
GbDb Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
D And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party
Bbm7GbDb I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now do you care if I stay?
GbDb You can put on your bathing suits
D And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough
GbDb you and your sister live in a lemonworld
GbDb I want to sit in and die
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
GbDb I want to sit in and die
GbDb You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
