The Avett Brothers – Salvation Song (Guitar Intro)

        G
If you take my heart

      C                    
Don't leave the smallest part

        D7                                G
I've no need to live if you're to come up gone

         G 
An as my life turns to a song

          C     
And if and when I treat you wrong

     D7                     G
No I never want to hurt our family

           G
And I would give up everything

           C
No this is not just about me

            D7                           G
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe

             G 
And they may pay us off in fame

               C
Though that is not why we came

      D7                                     G
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts

            C
We came for salvation

             G
We came for family

            D7                      C              G
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D7                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way

           G 
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain

      C
And I hear you call my name

       D7                         G
I will break into a run without a pause

             G
And if your love laughs at your dreams

                 C
Well it's not as bad as it seems

       D7                         G
Either way one of them has got to go

           G
And if you take of my soul

        C
You can still leave it whole

          D7                         G
With the pieces of you own you leave behind

            C
We came for salvation

            G
We came for family

            D7                      C              G
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D7                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way

            G
And I would give up everything

               C
And if you were to come up clean

            D7                            G
And see you shine so bright in a world of woe

             G
And they may pay us off in fame

            C
But that is not why we came

          D7                             G
And if it compromises truth then we will go

            C
We came for salvation

            G
We came for family

            D7                      C             G
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D7                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way
