(from White Lies, and With Blasphemy So Heartfelt)
Capo 4th Fret (actual key=B)
Intro:
GCGC
Verse 1:
GC
I was walking, with your left hand in my back pocket,
GC
and I stared at the sky, while you kissed me.
GC
and you were running away, away from everything.
GC
and I stayed behind, so you'd miss me.
DDsus4C
And while these words will sound so sweet.
Chorus:
GC
I could care less about you, care less about you,
GC
and I love the sound of you walking away.
GC
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
GC
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
DDsus4DCG
So hold me...... but only..... for today.
Break:
CGC
Verse 2:
GC
Despite my best ambition, I get into the worse situations
GC
but here I am, a crystal clean,
GC
and on the nights so lonely, the words I say to you are phony,
GC
because there's nothing left to say.
DDsus4C
and though you say you can't live without me
DDsus4C
and every single night you think about me.
Chorus:
GC
I could care less about you, care less about you,
GC
and I love the sound of you walking away.
GC
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
GC
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
DDsus4DCG
So hold me...... but only..... for today.
Outro:
CGCG
Notes:
G: 320033
C: x32010 or Cadd9: 0x32033
D: xx0232
Dsus4: xx0233 (you can also substitute a slide to G/D: xx0787)
All chords are played for one four beat measure each, the
D/Dsus4/D section is one four beat measure. Listen to the
song to figure out the exact relationship between the
chord changes and lyrics.
The D section also sounds good Neil Young style:
D:xx0232,Dsus4:xx0233,D:xx0232,Dsus2:xx0230,Dadd9:xx0030
If your trying to play along with the Avett Brothers' YouTube
video it put the Capo on the first fret (actual key=Ab)
