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".

There ain't no man-can enslave me D Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in CGDG There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear CD Cause I got only love to share CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
[Verse 1] CG You got to serve something, ain't that right? DG I know it gets dark, but there's always a light CG You don't have to buy in to get into the club D Trade your worries CG You gotta show up if you wanna be seen DG If it matters to you ma, it matters to me
[Pre-Chorus] CG I'm going to fall hard, yeah I know I am D When the crowds crack up, I laugh with them
[Chorus] G There ain't no man-can save me
There ain't no man-can enslave me D Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in CGDG There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear CD Cause I got only love to share CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
[Verse 2] CG You say you look funny, I say you're a star DG I say you're whatever you think you are CG Watch the naysayers fall right in line D If we believe that they'll say, "she is so pretty; he is so fine"
[Chorus] G There ain't no man-can save me
There ain't no man-can enslave me D Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in CGDG There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear CD Cause I got only love to share CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
[Bridge] CG You got to go somewhere, ain't that true? DG Not a whole lotta time for me or you CGD Got a whole lotta reasons to be mad; let's not pick one CG I live in a room at the top of the stairs DG I got my windows wide open and nobody cares CGD And I got no choice but to get right up when the song comes through
[Chorus] G There ain't no man-can save me
There ain't no man-can enslave me D Ain't no man, or men that can change the shape my soul is in CGDG There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear CD Cause I got only love to share CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there CDG If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
