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".

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hey guys! This is my first tab. I figured this song out by ear and by watching the video. This song is in the
key of B major, so your capo should be on the 4th fret. I will write the chords as if they are being played
without a capo, though: so the G shape is actually the B chord, the C shape is the E chord, etc.

A note on the melodic figure- he typically plays the hammer-on run the same every time. Feel free to change it
by picking the entire thing instead of hammering, for example. Additionally, the chords that are played after-
ward (glissando, for the music theory geeks) leave plenty of room for interpretation. I kept them simple and
open for purposes of illustration.
[Verse 1]
G C
I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle
G C
Lighting up your living room high on the mantle
Am C
I could bring some romance without any scandal
G C G
And then when you were done you'd just put me out
G C
I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen
G C
Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes
Am C
I could float around your tongue and ease the tension
G C G
And then when you were done you'd just quiet down
C
But if I get too close
G
Will the magic fade?
Bm Em
Would I turn you off or away?
C
If I pull you in
G
Now would I push you out?
Bm C
Of something here you care about
Am C
Well I'm at a loss for what to do
D D7
But I'm drawn to you
[Verse 2]
(Played with a lot more volume than the first.)
G C
I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips
G C
And when it got too cold into me you'd slip
Am C
And when the sun came back you would hang me up
G C G
And I would watch you while you undress
C
But if I get too close
G
Will the magic fade?
Bm Em
Would I turn you off or away?
C
If I pull you in
G
Now would I push you out?
Bm Em
Of something here you care about
Am C
Well I'm at a loss for what to do
D
But I'm drawn to you

End on an A minor chord, into a C, and then transition directly into the last verse.
G
I'm not a song
C
I am not a sweater
G
I'm not a fire
C
I am something better
Am C
I'm a man in love writing you a letter
G
Will you take it
C
Will you keep it
Am
Will you read it

Believe it
G
I love you
C
I'm sorry.
