Intro:
G C G C
Verse 1:
G C
I was walking, with your left hand in my back pocket,
G C
and I stared at the sky, while you kissed me.
G C
and you were running away, away from everything.
G C
and I stayed behind, so you'd miss me.
D Dsus4 C
And while these words will sound so sweet.
Chorus:
G C
I could care less about you, care less about you,
G C
and I love the sound of you walking away.
G C
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
G C
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
D Dsus4 D C G
So hold me...... but only..... for today.

Verse 2:
G C
Despite my best ambition, I get into the worse situations
G C
but here I am, a crystal clean,
G C
and on the nights so lonely, the words I say to you are phony,
G C
because there's nothing left to say.
D Dsus4 C
and though you say you can't live without me
D Dsus4 C
and every single night you think about me.
Chorus:
G C
I could care less about you, care less about you,
G C
and I love the sound of you walking away.
G C
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
G C
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
D Dsus4 D C G
So hold me...... but only..... for today.

Notes:
G: 320033
C: x32010 or Cadd9: 0x32033

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)
