The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. The two brothers, Seth and Scott, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. More recently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as &quot;post civil-war modern rock&quot;, or by other reviewers as &quot;grungegrass&quot;.

La magie fraternelle musicale qui caractérise les chansons des Avett Brothers apparait de manière évidente sur I and Love and You, leur premier disque sur un grand label. Treize chansons dans un style Americana pure souche, un amalgame de folk, country, bluegrass, rock et pop. Au fil des années, les Avett brothers ont su se consolider une solide réputation grâce à leurs performances scéniques, aux côtés notamment de Dave Matthews Band.

Verse
           Am
I open my door
    F             C
And here's what occurs
                Am
A pretty little gal
     F             C
With pretty little curls
              Em
leans to the si-i-ide
            F        G
leans on my mi-i-ind
  C           Am
I don't wanna live
      F                C
But I sure don't wanna die
               Am
I'm stutterin again
    F               C
And telling her goodbye
       Em              F        G
Oh m-m-my-y-y good b-b-by-y-ye
 
Chorus
               C          F       C
Will you come again it's hard to say
G        F
I surely hope so
              C          F       C
Will you come again it's hard to say

I surely hope so

Repeat Chorus

Will You Return

(G)I've never (D)taken this (G)curve
(G)driving this (D)fast (G)before
(G)A glowing stop (D)sign but (Em)both lanes are (C)mine
no (G)seat belts (D)attached to my (G)door

Well my speed meter don't work
so I'm going to guess 95
maybe I'll fix it, and maybe I won't
It depends on my being alive

my bottle of bourbon is gone
It flew away all by itself
So if ever you find it, my photo behind it
In memory of me on your shelf

its been raining all day
and its been raining all night
A slip and slide highway
and I'm moving sideways
I'm loose but my steering wheel's tight

My '63 Ford is a bull
She's four thousand pounds at least
But metal surrenders when Oak trees meet fenders
and engines go through the front seat

I lost control in the curve
the gas line broke in the wreck
But I rose from the ashes with just a few scratches
my crucifix warm on my neck

Well the good Lord was with me tonight
Just riding beside me tonight
And now we're just talking
We're hitchhiking walking
We'll see you in Greenville tonight

And now we're just talking
we're hitchhiking walking
We'll see you in Greenville tonight

(superimpose your locale during last verse)

In The Curve

(C)Shooting off vicious (F)collections of words
(C)The losers make facts by the (F)things they have heard
(C)And I find myself trying (F)hard to (G)defend them

(C)I made decisions some (F)right and some wrong
(C)And I let some love go I (F)wish wasn't gone
(C)These things and more I wish (F)I had not done(G)

(G)But I can't go (F)back
And I don't want (C)to
'Cause all my (F)mistakes
They brought me to (C)you

I have some "friends" they don't know who I am
So I write quotations around the word friends
But I have a couple that have always been there for me

And I missed some fun 'cause I worked through the dawn
Expecting your praise when I returned home
But I paid the cost 'cause I got left alone for the songs

But I can't go back
And I don't want to
'Cause all my mistakes
They brought me to you

All My Mistakes

G          Em              C           G
I would be sad because you left me all alone
           Em              C               G 
I would be sad because the lies that you had told me
           Em          C               D            G
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore
           Em          C          G
I would be sad for the love I had before

G                               Em 
I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you
   C                                    D
although I know its not something that you were asking me to do
G                                    Em
And I know we are young but we won?t always be so marry me
C                                  D
Lets not be that predictable young couple change and moving on
 

But I can tell by watching you that there's no chance of pushing through
the odds are so against us you know that most young love it ends like this
 
G          Em              C           G
I would be sad because you left me all alone
           Em              C               G 
I would be sad because the lies that you had told me
           Em          C               D            G
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore
           Em          C          G
I would be sad .. wait there's more

G                                Em       C           D                   G
I meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and change for you
G                                Em 
Well you know me I've always been the kind with easy confidence
C                            D 
Confident enough to honestly believe that nothing out there is stopping me
Especially not some girl who's not loving me
Now listen here baby I told you I could live on without loving you
Well I was bluffing then but it seems that just might have been the truth
Well my dad told me one day son (useless???) girl shell think of what she?s done
And hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come
And he said if she doesn't call then its her fault and its her loss
I say Dad it?s not that simple see but then again it just may be
 

I would be sad because you left me all alone
I would be sad for all the lies that you had told me
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that i adore
I would be sad for the love I had before
I would be sad for the love I had before

I Would Be Sad

But now I'm out and I've had time to look around and think 
     C#                               Eb
And sink into another world that's filled with guilt and overwhelming

Shame

CHORUS:
F#                                 B
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
F#                                     B
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
F#                                     B
Forgive yourself if you think that you can

Go to sleep, go to sleep my man

VERSE:
F#                              B
Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought
F#                                   B
For twenty-two years non-stop I've talked
F#                                                B
Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walked

I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand

Go To Sleep

Bb                       Eb              Bb
I'm so tired of hearing tales of coming news
Gm                  Eb      Bb
Telling tales of a changing sky
Bb                   Eb            Bb
It's just a shame I didn't notice you
Gm              Eb          Bb
Till someone I loved had to die
Bb                       Eb              Bb
What made us think that this was so different
Gm               Eb                    Bb
Who is driving behind those things you say
Bb           Eb               Bb
Why do you insult me and my friends
Gm           Eb        Bb
Who are my friends anyway
Bb                   Eb         Bb
I've spent my life lying now I pay the price
           Gm                Eb              Bb
Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life
Bb                         Eb               Bb
I don't mean to scare you with the things I say
          Gm                 Eb      Bb
I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day
Bb                       Eb                  Bb
I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed
Gm                       Eb               Bb
You made it clear that nothing stays the same
Bb                       Eb              Bb
It's getting darker I wonder if you can tell
Gm            Eb         Bb
I wonder when all that changed

You never used to let me go un---
I was so distracted I never saw the rain
You promised you meant every word you said
I wonder when all that changed
It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you
I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch
With what's the best something to do
I've got a friend who makes good choices
Everybody likes the way that he sees things
I've got a problem and it walks me daily
Can't you see no one is proud of me
It's a long road alone and I'm not proving
Anything going by myself
When your love life is all that's really moving
Oh sugar girl I really appreciate the help
I had my time with money gold and diamonds
Both went sour before they got to me
I'll be waiting girl but don't be counting hours
I'm not waiting for any other three
I was just a peasant from the highlands
She said don't you call me your mountain girl
I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and don't worry you ain't my mountain girl
I can call you but I'd probably make you cry
These days it's what you often times do
Call the preacher then go call your father
Tell them that the wedding plans have moved
I send a message saying I'll be gone forever
The letter of reply never came
She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her
I wonder when all that changed

Hell has no fury like a woman
Happy scorned or otherwise
You can do what you want to with your name
But you can bet I'm changing mine
Well I'd give a $100 to get a letter
If at the bottom it said I miss you bad
See but the truth of the matter is that back home no one really misses me
See how I talk when I'm sad
Since I was young I've known a lot of women...

See, I'm as true as I try to be,
And I must say my girl,
I tried the best to give to you
All of the truest in the world.

But, when I left your house that morning
in that ragged Thunderbird,
I tried so hard to fight the voices
From the devils that I heard.

See, there's a highway to the right of us
I took a year ago,
And since a year ago can't drive past
Without turning down that road.

So give me a try at describing just how difficult it is. 
When you kinda love two girls to figure out which one you miss. 
Stumble away from your stairway with your perfume on my clothes. 
Well I kinda loved two girls but now I've kinda lost 'em both. 

Chorus 


And if I could gather up the damage that I rendered in my life. 
Place it on a scale and weigh against the damage done that night. 
Then it'd be safe to say the weight of all I did and didn't do. 
Would surely float against the slightest wrong I ever did to you.

Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
    C           G          C            G  
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
        C            G           D             C                D       G--D--C--Em       
So I?ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

           G               D               C                Em
And in the fine print they tell you what?s wrong and what?s right
       G        D          C        Em
And it flies by day and it flies by night
        Em            D                C 
And I?m frightened by those that don?t see it

Head Full Of Doubt Road Full Of Promise

A
She keeps it simple
                                              D 
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin' 
                      A
'Cause it's simple 

A
No longer do we wonder if we're together 
                   D
We're way past that 
                             A
And I've already asked her 
         E                                   D            A
So in January we're gettin' married 

A
She's talkin' to me with her voice 
                                     D
Down so low I barely hear her 
A                                        
But I know what she's sayin' 
                   D                                   A
I understand because my heart and hers are the same 
          E                                     D              A
And in January we're gettin' married 

A
And I was sick with heartache 
                             D                           A
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her 
A
But we would both surrender 
                        D                            A
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down 
         Bm                       D
Don't ever turn it down 

A
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say 
              D                      A
There is darkness all around us 
A                                                                 D
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me 
         A                                 D                         A
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin' 
E                                             D
And in January we're gettin' married 

A                                                              D
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in 
A
She knows which birds are singin' 
                                                D                             A
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin 
E                                               D
And in January we're gettin' married 
E                                    D               A
Come January let's get married

Laundry Room

C      Am     F              G            Am   C  
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F             G           C   Am
I do things I don't wanna do
F              G
I talk mean to you.
C         Am    F                G                   Am   C  
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
F                       G            C    Am
My parents taught me to learn when I miss  
F            G
Just do your best.
Am           C
Just do your best.

Em                             F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                               G
At least a little better than I've been so far.

C            Am    F                   G               Am   C
But when I drink,  I hear things that aren't really there
F                    G                 C    Am 
I feel things when I shouldn't  really care
     F                    G
Have fist fights with the air.
C         Am    F             G         Am   C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F                   G              C    Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F                G
With something to tell
Am           C
Just do your best

Em                             F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                               G
At least a little better than I've been so far.

C          Am     F                G            Am   C     
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F            G          C    Am   
But we only get so many days
F              G
Now I have one less
Am          C
Just do your best.

Em                             F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                               G
At least a little better than I've been so far.
       F                               G           C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.

I've never been too good at reading in
Between the lines
So babe spell it out
But you don?t have to shout
When you?re talking to me

Do you care, Are you there
Well neither am I

Don?t lock your door
Everyone is poor
Between the lines
And I could never steal
The sadness that you feel
When you?re changing your mind

Oh my dear, Can you hear
Well neither can I

I wanna live and I want you to live
Happy and free
But I don?t how to separate the now
From what used to be

Will you sleep, not a wink
Well neither will I

My Last Song To Jenny

G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies 


           Bm          C               G 
Now in the movies they make it look so perfect 
           Bm                 C                        G
And in the background they're always playing the right song 
           Bm             C             G
And in the ending there's always a resolution 
   Bm            C              G   D     C
But real life is more than just two hours long 


       G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies


             Bm               C             G 
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie 
           Bm               C                      G 
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel 
       Bm                  C                   G 
But I don't see one single solitary light technician 
    Bm        C              G   D   C 
Or one single camera in this moonlit field 


        G             D             G
I don't want to be in love like the movies 
         G                  D              G
Cause in the movies they're not in love at all 
       Em               D
With a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me

Verse 3

And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
And I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay


And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes

C           F        G                C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
C           F        G                C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind

The Once And Future Carpenter

C               Em 
Can you not see what you've done? 
    F                G 
You gave your heart away like that. 
         C               Em 
I didn't want to fall in love, 
     F               G 
with anyone but you, dear. 
            C        Em 
I can still hear the song, 
     F       G 
the melody behind the kiss, 
    C                 Em 
you gave me, you were wrong, 
      F                  G 
I was right so I walked away, 
             C       Em 
and left you there, alone, 
   F              G 
I got so tired of talking on the 
C   Em 
telephone, 
    F                   G 
how many times would we say the words, "Good bye?" 


       C             Em 
I made mistakes, and one, 
     F               G 
was telling you that I'd be there when 
C                    Em 
telling time (?) had come, 
  F                        G 
I should have said I didn't care. 
        C                 Em 
All the time I would have saved, 
   F               G 
If I had been less willing 
     C   Em 
to accommodate, 
      F           G 
you'd been a little less likely to cry. 



Am                 G 
You go back to the high life, 
    Am                  G 
and I'll go back to the low. 
F 
I should have known, 
G 
But now I know. 
               C         Em 
There'll be no word from you, 
   F              G 
describing how it felt to go through 
C              Em 
what I put you through 
    F                G 
It all makes perfect sense 
            C       Em 
the way you cut the rope 
     F                 G 
that kept you dangling from such 
     C             Em 
pitiful amounts of hope, 
F                    G 
I would have cut it, too.

I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]

No no no no

We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time

We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
