For Today
Jessica Lea Mayfield
(from White Lies, and With Blasphemy So Heartfelt)
Capo 4th Fret (actual key=B)
Intro:
Verse 1:
I was walking, with your left hand in my back pocket,
and I stared at the sky, while you kissed me.
and you were running away, away from everything.
and I stayed behind, so you'd miss me.
And while these words will sound so sweet.
Chorus:
I could care less about you, care less about you,
and I love the sound of you walking away.
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
So hold me...... but only..... for today.
Break:
Verse 2:
Despite my best ambition, I get into the worse situations
but here I am, a crystal clean,
and on the nights so lonely, the words I say to you are phony,
because there's nothing left to say.
and though you say you can't live without me
and every single night you think about me.
Chorus:
I could care less about you, care less about you,
and I love the sound of you walking away.
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.
So hold me...... but only..... for today.

Notes:
: 320033
: x32010 or : 0x32033
: xx0232
Dsus4: xx0233 (you can also substitute a slide to G/D: xx0787)
All chords are played for one four beat measure each, the
D/Dsus4/D section is one four beat measure. Listen to the
song to figure out the exact relationship between the
chord changes and lyrics.
The D section also sounds good Neil Young style:
:xx0232,:xx0233,:xx0232,:xx0230,:xx0030
If your trying to play along with the Avett Brothers' YouTube
video it put the Capo on the first fret (actual key=Ab)
