Okkervil River é um grupo de folk formado por amigos de segundo grau em Meriden. Após cada um tomar sua direção para a faculdade, todos se mudaram para a cidade de Austin, no Texas, para morarem juntos e formarem a banda. A formação incial contém o compositor Will Sheff, o baixista e bandolinista Zach Thomas e o baterista Seth Warren. Na banda em que a guitarra lidera o som e possui elementos perdidos do pop, há, na voz doce e suave de Will Sheff, letras sobre barcos, livros, referências a artistas como David Bowie e R.

FCDm Man, I can understand how it might be kind of hard to love a girl like me FBb I don't blame you much for wanting to be free CF I just wanted you to know FCDm I loved you better than your own kin did from the very start FBbC It's my own fault for what happens to my heart F You see I've always known you'd go
CBbF But you just do what you gotta do, My wild sweet love DmCBbF Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again BbF Pay that no mind BbC Just find that dappled dream of yours F Come on back and see me when you can
FBb x2
FCDm Well, I know they make you sad, they make you feel so bad F They say you don't treat me like you should Bb Folks got ways to make you feel no good CF I'd guess they've got no way to know CDm I've had my eyes wide open from the very start F And boy, you never lied to me BbC And the part of you they'll never see F Is the part you've shown to me
So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again Pay that no mind Just find that dappled dream of yours Come on back and see me Come on back and see me when you can
