The Avett Brothers – Ten Thousand Words (Guitar)

    D                       C
Ten thousand words swarm around my head

      G                              D            C     G
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed

    D                C                  G
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms

                             D              C     G
Still can't find out how to hold my hands

        D              C                G
And I know you need me in the next room over

                            D            C        G
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed

     D              C
For months I got myself in ruts 

          G                               D               C    G
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

    D           C                    G
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief

              D              C         G
And says I'm too caught up

           D               C
They say young is good and old is fine

      G
And truth is cool but all that matters 

        D                     C      G
Is you have your good times

           D                     C
But their good times come with prices

       G                                D                C     G
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make

   D           C                 G
At anyone's expense except their own

                          D                 C      G
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

    D               C
And after we are through ten years

    G                             D               C       G
Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts

      D                 C
I'll come back home without my things

            G                                   D               C    G
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you

                D              C               G
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings

                              D                     C        G
And how the experts all have had their doubts

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about

D                  C              G
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

                                    D            C      G
We love to talk on things we don't know about
