My Last Song to Jenny

By The Avett Brothers

Key of A

[Verse]
A            E
  Oh tell me please
                     F#m
That I don't have to read
  A         D
Between the lines
A             E
  Hey this is me
E7                F#m
You don't have to keep
          A             D
Something heavy on your mind
E         A
  Did you sleep?
E       A
  Not a wink
F#m    A           D
  Well neither did I

[Verse]
A            E
  I've never been
                    F#m
Too good at readin' in
  A         D
Between the lines
A                  E
  So babe spell it out
    E7                F#m
But you don't have to shout
            A          D
When you're talking to me
E        A
  Do you care?
E         A
  Are you there?
F#m    A          D
  Well neither am I

[Verse]
A                 E
  Don't lock your door
            F#m
Everyone is poor
  A         D
Between the lines
A                   E
  And I could never steal
    E7          F#m
The sadness you feel
            A            D
When you're changing you mind
E       A
  Oh my dear
E         A
  Can you hear?
F#m    A           D
  Well neither can I

[Verse]
A           E
  I want to live
                  F#m
And I want you to live
A         D
Happy and free
A                  E
  But I don't know how
   E7           F#m
To seperate the now
     A            D
From what used to be
E          A
  Will you sleep?
E       A
  Not a wink
F#m    A            D
  Well neither will I
