True Sadness Live chords by The Avett Brothers
Guitar chords with lyrics
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C
You were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track
Am C D7
And though you say there is no need I intend to pay you back
G C
When my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black
Am C D7
You shined a light on me and I intend to pay it back
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams
C G
And I hate to say it but the way it seems
C D7 G
Is that no one is fine
D7 G Em
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
C D G
True sadness

[Verse 2]
G C
When I was a child, I depended on a bottle
Am C D
Full-grown I've been known to lean on a bottle
G C
But you're the real deal in a world of imposters
Am C D
And I've seen the program make men out of monsters
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams
C G
And I hate to say it but the way it seems
C D7 G
Is that no one is fine
D7 G Em
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
C D G
True sadness
[Verse 3]
C G
Angela became a target
D G
As soon as her beauty was seen
C G
By young men who try to reduce her down
Em D7
To a scene on an X rated screen
C G
Is she not more than the curve of her hips?
C G
Is she not more than the shine on her lips?
Em C Am
Does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path
D7
Without being torn apart?
C
Does she not have a heart?
[Verse 4]
G C
I cannot go on with this evil inside me
Am C D7
I step out my front door and I feel it surround me
G C
Just know the kingdom of God is within you
Am C D7
Even though the battle is bound to continue
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams
C G
And I hate to say it but the way it seems
C D7 G
Is that no one is fine
D7 G Em
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
Em C
True sadness
Em C
True sadness
C D G
True true sadness
