The Avett Brothers
Tear Down the House
Second Gleam
Capo 4th
G+G G/F#
Tear down the house
C majorC G+G
That I grew up in
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
I'll never be the same again
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
Take everything that I've collected
G+G D MajorD G+G
And throw it in a pile
G+G G/F#
Bulldoze the woods
C majorC G+G
That I ran through
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Carry the pictures of me and you
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
I have no memory of who I once was
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I don't remember your name
G+G G/F#
Park the old car
C majorC G+G
That I love the best
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
(The) inspections due and it won't pass the test
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
G+G D MajorD G+G
And how one day I will join it
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
I remember crying over you
G+G D MajorD C majorC
And I don't mean like a couple of tears
G+G
And I'm blue
G+G G/F#
I'm talkin' about collapsing
C majorC G+G
And screaming at the moon
G+G D MajorD
But I'm a better man
C majorC G+G
For having gone through it
G+G C majorC
Yes, I'm a better man
D MajorD C majorC
For having gone through
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
Ever since I learned how to curse
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
I've been using those sorry old words
G+G G/F#
But, I'm talkin' to these children
C majorC G+G
And I'm keeping it clean
G+G D MajorD
I don't need those words
C majorC G+G
To say what I mean
G+G C majorC
No, I don't need those words
D MajorD G+G
To say what I mean
G+G G/F#
Tear down the house
C majorC G+G
That I grew up in
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
I'll never be the same again
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
Take everything that I used to own
G+G D MajorD G+G
And burn it in a pile
G+G G/F#
And, bulldoze the woods
C majorC G+G
That I ran through
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Carry the pictures of me and you
G+G G/F# C majorC G+G
I have no memory of who I once was
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I don't remember your name
