Please Pardon Yourself by The Avett Brothers

capo 2

G                           C           G
as I turned my head to your side of the bed...


G                         C       G
why are you awake? What’s on your mind


G                      C           G
to this awful news try not to hold on


G                              C                 G
the day will come the sun will rise and we'll be fine

G                    C           G
As long as I feel as strong as I feel

G                   C         G
I will carry you as long as I can

G                           C      G
As hard on yourself, please pardon yourself

G                       C               G
Do the best you can and that won't go unseen

G                              C
How do I know when its time to stop

D
Runnin' from the things I do, Bein' things I'm not
          C                 G
Oh I have tried, but I just changed my mind
      D             C             G
Every night befalls every morning light

G                                 C
How do I know that you will never stop

D
Knowing me and trusting me, loving me alot
 
          C                 G
Oh I have tried, but I just changed my mind

      D             C             G
Every night befalls every morning light

             G    C       G
Well there's only so many ways
        
        G         C         G
You can give your loving to me

    D                         C           G
But I'd give my soul for just one of them now

    D                     C            G
I'd give up the drinkin', just tell me how

(Repeat chords from last 4 lines)
And there's only so many years
I can give my love to you
And I spent the last one hidden away
Screaming my lungs out, nothing to say

(repeat first verse)
