The National - 'Light Years' Chords

[intro]
F#m  A  E  B

[verse 1]
F#m                               A
 You were waiting outside for me

in the sun
E                               B
 Laying down to soak it all in

before we had to run
F#m                            A
  I was always ten feet behind you

from the start
E                           B
 Didn't know you were gone

'til we were in the car

[chorus]
A                         E
 Oh, the glory of it all  was lost on me
A                                  B
 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you,

and I would always be
A                           E
 Light years, light years away from you
A                           B
 Light years, light years away from you

[verse 2]
F#m
 I thought I saw your mother
         A
last weekend  in the park
E
  It could've been anybody.
B
 it was after dark
F#m
 Everyone was lighting up
     A
in the shadows  alone
E
 You could've been right there next to me
B
 and I'd have never known

[chorus]
A                         E
 Oh, the glory of it all  was lost on me
A
 'Til I saw how hard it'd be
      B
to reach you, and I would always be
A                           E
 Light years, light years away from you
A                           B
 Light years, light years away from you
A                           E
 Light years, light years away from you
A                           B
 Light years, light years away from you

[outro]
F#m  A  E  B
