The National – I Should Live In Salt chords
Chords:
The song is a bit tricky solely because of the unusual strumming pattern and time signature. The intro and verses in this song are in 17/8, a very weird time signature. It helps when playing to count to 9, then count to 8, then back to 9, etc. The bridge (I should leave it alone part) and the chorus are in regular 4/4. Listen to the song very carefully to get the exact strumming pattern right. During the verses, only play the Em once. The C in the verses don't have the high e, its just x3201x. The F is 133211.CDon't make me read your mindC Em FYou should know me better than thatCIt takes me too much timeC Em FYou should know me better than thatCYou're not that much like meC Em FYou should know me better than thatCWe have different enemiesC Em FYou should know me better than thatAm CI should leave it alone but you're not rightAm CI should leave it alone but you're not rightCCan't you write it on the wall?C Em FYou should know me better than thatCThere's no room to write it allC Em FYou should know me better than thatCCan you turn the TV down?C Em FYou should know me better than thatCThere's too much crying in the soundC Em FI should know you better than thatAm CI should leave it alone but you're not rightAm CI should leave it alone but you're not rightAm F C I should live in salt for leaving you behindF C F C Behind OhhhhhCThink about something so muchC Em FYou should know me better than thatC Start to slide out of touchC Em FYou should know me better than thatCTell yourself it's all you knowC Em FYou should know me better than thatCLearn to appreciate the voidC Em FYou should know me better than thatAm F CI should live in salt for leaving you behindF C F C Behind OhhhhhAm F CI should live in salt for leaving you behindF C F C Behind OhhhhhhAm F C F C F C (x2)Am F CI should live in salt for leaving you behindF C F C Behind OhhhhhRepeat intro/verse chord progression once more, then ending on C.
