The Avett Brothers – The Greatest Sum (Guitar)

G        C     Em      Am 
This and who I used to be

      G      D       C      G 
Don't matter much at all to me.

    G       C      Em         Am
The pit you dug to plant your feet's

  G       D       C    G 
a far cry from my destiny.

             C
Not even the clouds,

             G
Not even the past,

             G        C      
Not even the hands of God

      Em      Am        G 
could hold me back from you.

G        C      Em     Am 
Dark and lonely is the ride

    G     D      C     G 
the devil always by my side.

       G        C        Em     Am 
Though no match for what lies between

    G          D
the thought of you

     C         G
your trust for me.

             C
Not even the sun,

                G
A bullet from a gun.

    G       C         Em          Am
No, nothing that this world could bring or

G    D       C         G
Anything someone could do

      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you.

   G      C           Em     Am 
No can of gold placed in my hand,

    G       D      
the largest find 

         C        G D G
with the greatest sum.

       G          C     
Though some would say

     Em       Am
it'd ease our pain,

G       D       C        G 
We know that it can't be done.

             C
Not even the sun,

             G
Not even the clouds,

             C
Not even the past

    G       C         Em          Am
No, nothing that this world could bring or

G    D       C         G
Anything someone could do

      C       D         G 
Could hold me back from you,

      C       D         G 
Could hold me back from you,

      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you.
