These are Tropic Morning News chords by The National on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
C#m B A B

[Verse 1]
C#m
I wasn\'t starting yet
         B
I didn\'t even think
 you were listening
A
I wasn\'t ready at all
       B
To say anything about
 anything interesting
C#m
It\'s a thing you have
               B
You just don\'t know 
that you do it
          A
You wait around
 in a conversation
            B
While I get in and 
start stumbling through it

[Chorus]
E
I was so distracted then
         F#m
I didn\'t have it 
straight in my head
                 D
I didn\'t have my face on
 yet or the role or the feel
E
Of where I was
 going with it all
E
I was suffering 
more than I let
F#m
On. The tropic morning
 news was on
D
There\'s nothing
 stopping me now
E
From saying all the 
painful parts out loud

[Verse 2]
C#m
Got to my feet
                 B
Feeling that I\'d let you down
          A
Wanted to say it 
slow and perfect
           B
But it all somehow 
got switched around
C#m
Something went off on its own
   B
My dumb, automatic 
chit-chat
A
It\'s not what
 I meant to say at all
B
There\'s no way you
 can attach me to that

[Chorus]
E
Got up to seize the day
                   F#m
With my head in my hands 
feeling strange
            D
When all my thinking
 got mangled
               E
And I caught myself talking
 myself off the ceiling
E
I was suffering 
more than I let
F#m
on, the tropic 
morning news was on
D
There\'s nothing 
stopping me now
E
From saying all the 
painful parts out loud

[Post-Chorus]
E                     F#m
Oh, where are all the moments
 we\'d have?
                D
Oh, where\'s the brain 
we shared?
          E
Something somehow
 has you rapidly improving
E                   
Oh, what happened to 
     F#m
the wavelength we were on?
                D
Oh, where\'s the gravity gone?
Something somehow has 
      E
you rapidly improving

[Bridge]
A E F#m D
A E F#m D

A             E
You found the ache
 in my argument
F#m          D
You couldn\'t wait to
 get out of it
A             E
You found the slush 
in my sentiment
F#m         D
You made it sound
 so intelligent
A                     
You can stop and start
              E
 an athlete\'s heart
F#m      D
How do I feel about it?
A                    E
I would love to have nothing
 to do with it
D
I would like to move on 
and be through with it

[Verse 3]
C#m E A B

C#m              
I\'ll be over here 
                B
lying near the ocean
Making ocean sounds
A
Let me know if you can come over
    B
And work the controls
 for a while

[Chorus]
E
I was so distracted then
         F#m
I didn\'t have it straight
 in my head
                 D
I didn\'t have my face 
on yet or the role or the feel
E
Of where I was 
going with it all
E
I was suffering
 more than I let
F#m
on, The tropic 
morning news was on
D
There\'s nothing 
stopping me now
E
From saying all the
 painful parts out loud

[Post-Chorus]
E                    
Oh, where are all the 
 F#m
moments we\'d have?
                D
Oh, where\'s the brain
 we shared?
          E
Something somehow has 
you rapidly improving
E                  
Oh, what happened to 
      F#m
the wavelength we were on?
                D
Oh, where\'s the gravity gone?
Something somehow has 
       E
you rapidly improving
