Here's "Conversation 16" from High Violet. This is a really great one from the
album, one of my favorites. Good Luck finding a vocalist that can bellow like Matt
Berninger! You might wanna use a capo on this one if your vocal range is higher
than Berninger's. Have fun!- K.D.

I agree with what the guy above said

I think the second chord in the verse might be a D or a D/A instead of an A major.

It's most definitely a D or D/A. A D sounds good enough. An A isn't even close there.
