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".

Verse:
CEmAm When my body won't hold me anymore

CEmAm When my feet won't walk another mile
FEm And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
FG Will my hands be steady?

F When I lay down my fears
G My hopes and my doubts
F The rings on my fingers
G And the keys to my house
AmEmFG With no hard feelings
Verse:
CEmAm When the sun hangs low in the west
FEm And the light in my chest won't be kept

FG And it's just hallelujah

Verse:
CEmAm When my body won't hold me anymore
FEm And it finally lets me free
FG Where will I go?

GCF To say it and mean it too
GCF For life and its loveliness
GCF And all of its ugliness
GCF Good as its been to me
GCF I have no enemies
