                           SALVATION SONG - The Avett Brothers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard


F  C  C  x2

       C
If you take my heart
      F                    
Don't leave the smallest part
        C               F                 C
I've no need to live if you're to come up gone
         C 
An as my life turns to a song
          F     
And if and when I treat you wrong
     C             F        C
No I never want to hurt our family
           C
And I would give up everything
           F
No this is not just about me
            C              F             C
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe
             C 
And they may pay us off in fame
               F
Though that is not why we came
      C              F                       C
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts

            F
We came for salvation
             C
We came for family
            C                      F              C
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
           F
We came to break the bad
           C
We came to cheer the sad
           C                F              C
We came to leave behind the world a better way

           C 
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain
      F
And I hear you call my name
       C            F             C
I will break into a run without a pause
             C
And if your love laughs at your dreams
                 F
Well it's not as bad as it seems
       C          F               C
Either way one of them has got to go
           C
And if you take of my soul
        F
You can still leave it whole
          C            F             C
With the pieces of you own you leave behind

            F
We came for salvation
            C
We came for family
            C          F                          C
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
           F
We came to break the bad
           C
We came to cheer the sad
           C                F              C
We came to leave behind the world a better way

            C
And I would give up everything
               F
And if you were to come up clean
            C               F             C
And see you shine so bright in a world of woe
             C
And they may pay us off in fame
            F
But that is not why we came
          C            F                 C
And if it compromises truth then we will go

            F
We came for salvation
            C
We came for family
            C          F                          C
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
           F
We came to break the bad
           C
We came to cheer the sad
           C                F              C
We came to leave behind the world a better way
