Band: The National Album: The National Song: Bitters & Absolut Standard Tuning Verse sweetie, you don't look so good your bottom lip is bleeding. i cut it on your collarbone go on, go back to sleep. sugar, who were you thinking of? you woke me with your breathing. honey, how am i supposed to tell? Chorus if i were a spy in the world inside your head would i be your wife in a better life you led? Verse thought i saw you on the stairs of this american century. i went up through all the years you were years ahead of me. remember when you dipped your hand? i never saw it coming. you took the wind out of me. Chorus if i were a spy in the world inside your head would i be your wife in the better life you led? Bridge i'd do you better than you do i'd do you better than you ever will when i'm on bitters and absolut. Chorus if i were a spy in the world inside your head would i be your wife in a better life you led? Bridge i'd do you better than you do i'd do you better than you ever will. when i'm on bitters and absolut.
