Текст песни The National - You Were A Kindness

On the intro chords the note after the slash is the bass note.
The chords and bass will be difficult to play on guitar,
so I'd just play the chord unless you're playing piano.  Suggestions
welcome, I'm not the best at picking out weird chords.

I was in a fog I didn't notice everything
Was coming all apart inside of me
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
You made a slow disaster out of me

    There's a radiant darkness upon us
    I don't want you to worry
    I was careful but nothing is harmless
    Baby, you better hurry

You were a kindness when I  was a stranger
But I wouldn't ask for what I  didn't need
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

    It doesn't work that way
   Wanting not to want you won't make it so
    It doesn't work that way
    Don't leave me here  alone

I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
Can't feel this way forever, I mean
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
You made a slow disaster out of me

    There's a radiant darkness upon us
    I don't want you to worry
    I was careful but nothing is harmless
    Baby, you better hurry

You were a kindness when I  was a stranger
But I wouldn't ask for what I  didn't need
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

    It doesn't work that way
   Wanting not to want you won't make it so
    It doesn't work that way
    Don't leave me here  alone
