The National — Space Invader

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]

Dm F
F C

[Verse]

Dm F                    F   C
      It's a calculation I made a mistake on
Dm  F                         F    C
     I never should have said it like I said
Dm F                              F   C
       It will come to me later like a space invader
Dm F                              F   C
    And I won't be able to get it out of my head

[Chorus]

Am                C                 F
    What if I'd never written the letter
                   G                          Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
             C                       F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
     G
What if we never met?
Dm                        Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F                  G
And never looked back?
 Dm                      Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F                G
And faded to black?

[Verse]

Dm F                    F        C
  It was too romantic, it was sad and frantic
Dm F                     F   C
       A paperback book in a storm drain
Dm F                         F    C
     It could go number one, if I copied a new one
Dm F                  F   C
     From a melody that I wish I had

[Chorus]

Am                C                 F
    What if I'd never written the letter
                   G                          Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
             C                       F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
     G
What if we never met?
Dm                        Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F                  G
And never looked back?
 Dm                      Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F                G
And faded to black?

Am                C                 F
    What if I'd never written the letter
                   G                          Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
             C                       F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
     G
What if we never met?
Dm                        Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F                  G
And never looked back?
 Dm                      Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F                G
And faded to black?

[Verse]

Dm F                F   C

It will come to me later, like a space invader
Dm  F                          F     C
    And I won't be able to get it out of my head

[Outro]

F   G   Am C
