The National - Apartment Story
I'm not 100% sure of all the chord names.
I've watch this a few times on acoustic on youtube.
Its not 100% accurate with the way he plays it but these shapes and chords work perfect.
For the B and Em in the chorus he plays it closer to the head of the guitar but
it works fine this way too.
Standard tuning - No Capo.

Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
/
I can tie my tie all by myself
/
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
/
Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
/
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
/
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
/ /
Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
/
when it sings to itself of its long lost loves
/
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
/
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
but I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come
on a different day just like this one
We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
/
do whatever the TV tells us
/
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days
We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
/
do whatever the TV tells us
/
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
so worry not
all things are well
we’ll be alright
we have our looks and perfume
stay inside til somebody finds us
/
do whatever the TV tells us
/
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
so worry not
all things are well
we’ll be alright
we have our looks and perfume on
