A Gift For Melody Anne

Written by The Avett Brothers

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		

Intro: C 

              C                   G 
I want to get back, I want to get square  
              C                                         
I want to get back all the hopes and the dreams that I had 
         G                        F 
That the good lord above us can't spare  

                C                         G 
Like that actor said I don't want to lose heart 
                    C       
I don't want to get beat beat down by the big big world  
   G                  F 
Or quit before I even start 

       D            C          G 
Lord I just want my life to be true 
      D            C           G 
And I just want my heart to be true 
      D            C           G 
And I just want my words to be true 
          D       C          G 
I want my soul to feel brand new 

               C                                G 
I want to hold hands yeah, Yeah and I want make love  
               C 
I want to keep running all day and and all night 
             G                        F 
Even when my mind tells my body that's enough 

                    C                           G 
And I want to stand up yeah and I want to stand tall 
                 C                            
If I ever have a son, if I ever have a daughter 
                          G                     F 
I don't want to tell them that I didn't give my all 

       D           C          G 
And I just want my life to be true 
   D           C           G 
I just want my heart to be true  
  D            C           G 
I just want my words to be true 
          D       C                G 
I want my soul to feel brand brand new 
       C             
Like a fresh coat of paint  
                            G 
We can make it anything but blue 
             F 
Anything but blue 

              Am                              
Now when your dreams start saying I can't come true  
        C 
You'd be better off without me  
             G                F 
Don't let em go, don't let em go 

                  C                        G 
I don't want to go broke, not from one bad deal  
                   C 
I don't want to be up all night crying in my hands 
      G                    F 
For a girl that isn't even real 

     D             C           G 
Lord I just want my life to be true 
    D               C          G 
And I just want my heart to be true 
    D              C           G  
And I just want my words to be true  
    D              C          G 
And I just want my song to be true  

And I just want my heart to be true 
And I just want my life to be true 
And I just want my words to be true 
And I just want my heart to be true 
And I just want my life to be true  
And I just want my song to be true  
And I just want my life to be true 
          D       C          G  
I want my soul to feel brand new  
          D       C          G 
I want my soul to feel brand new
