The Avett Brothers - Mama I Don't Believe

Chords and Lyrics The Avett Brothers - Mama I Don't Believe


Artist : The Avett Brothers
Song : Mama I Don't Believe

G D Em
I lay here pretending to sleep
C D G Em
Someone’s always asking for something of me
C D G
I try to hide but I’m stripped of my strength
C G C G
Bound by the truth, bored by the speed
E D
And the promise of the fortune it brings
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe

G D Em
Like it happened in a Broadway scene
C D G Em
Are we still acting, is this the real you and me
C D G
The words don’t flow, but my heart it still bleeds
C G C G
Bound by the love, the warmth that it brings
Em D G
And its promise to fix everything
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe

C G Bm G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm Em Bm Em
They'll never fly for you and I
C Bm G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm Em C D
They'll never sing for you and me

G D Em
A young man whose soul was burning
C D G Em
The hands of the people guiding him on
C D G
He was moving along, mama he was cooking
C G C G
But the calendar won, his earnings are gone
Em D G
And this fortune that this young man saw
C D G
Oh mama, I don’t believe in it at all

C G Bm G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm Em Bm Em
They'll never fly for you and I
C G Bm G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm Em Am D
They'll never sing for you and me
Bm Em Am D
For you and me, they'll never sing
Bm Em
They'll never sing
Am D
They'll never sing
Bm Em
They'll never sing
Am D
They'll never sing
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe

I'd been lying to myself again

You knew I was gone

The Avett Brothers - Fisher Road To Hollywood

Chords and Lyrics The Avett Brothers - Fisher Road To Hollywood


Artist : The Avett Brothers
Song : Fisher Road To Hollywood

Verse 1 :
G Em
Regret for every step I took
C Em9/D
From Fisher Road to Hollywood
G Em
Feelin' bad and actin' good
C Em9/D
Never was content

G Em
It was hostel moves and hotel rooms
C Em9/D
Watch my friends promote their dooms
G Em
From Pontiac to Newport News
C Em9/D
Nothin' made much sense

G Em
And I had to leave a few behind
C Em9/D
When they replaced the apple wine
G Em
With cocaine and codeine pills
C Em9/D
I knew I was done

G Em
And I didn't really say goodbye
C Em9/D
They'll walk their path and I'll walk mine
G Em
I will find other ways
C Em9/D
To tear my body down

Chorus :
E C
I am staying here with you
E C
I've done all I know to do

G D/F#
They say "stand up straight and take your eyes
Em G
Off the wooden floor"

No, I didn't find what I was looking for

Gm3 F#m3 Em3 Em9/D C
Still I had to go
Am Em9/D G
From Fisher Road to Hollywood
Gm3 F#m3 Em3 Em9/D C
Still I had to go
Am Em9/D G
From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Verse :
G Em
They taught some bigger words to me
C Em9/D
At the university
G Em
Only it's a curse to speak
C Em9/D
Without some regard

G Em
For the ones I'm talking to
C Em9/D
Do I sound like a friend to you
G Em
Do we even speak the same
C Em9/D
Language anymore

Chorus :
E C
I am staying here with you
E C
I've done all I know to do

G D/F#
They say "stand up straight and take your eyes
Em G
Off the ballroom floor"
C Em9/D
No, I didn't find what I was looking for

Gm3 F#m3 Em3 Em9/D C
Still I had to go
Am Em9/D G
From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood
