Ballad Of Love And Hate

Biography:

The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

D D A D
Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
G G A D
My vacations ending. I'm coming home late.
G A D G
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
D A G G
and I can't wait to see you again.

D D A D
Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
G G A D
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
G A D G
I barely even noticed that you were away.
D A G G
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."

D D A D
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
G G A D
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
G A D G
And everyone knows it whenever she flies,
D A G G
and also when she comes down.

D D A D
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
G G A D
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
G A D G
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
D A G G
with a serious look on his face.

D D A D
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
G G A D
Carrying with her the good things we know.
G A D G
A reason to live and a reason to grow.
D A G G
To trust. To hope. To care.

D D A D
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
G G A D
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
G A D G
Lazily killing the last of a jar
D A G G
of the strongest stuff you can drink.

D D A D
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
G G A D
As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
G A D G
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
D A G G
cause he might never see her again.

D D A D
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
G G A D
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
G A D G
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
D A G G
And the clock in the kitchen is slow.

D D A D
Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
G G A D
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
G A D G
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
D A G G
Will make it back safe to her arms.

D D A D
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
G G A D
Weary head hung, eyes to the floor.
G A D G
He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?
D A G G
I'm your and that's it, Whatever.

G A D G
I should not have been gone for so long.
D A G G
I'm your's and that's it, forever."
D A G G
You're mine and that's it, forever.
