the prettiest thing
the avett brothers/David childers

G
it was new years day in the seaside bar
C G
there was a special on pbr
G D G
the ocean roared outside the door
G
no one but us and some hardcore drinkers
C G
lost in the stormy day
G
how blue was the blue of your eyes
D G
against the skies of grey

D
do you remember what we talked about , i
C G
just remember your face
G
the prettiest thing that
D G
i have ever seen

G
well it must have been a wrong turn
C G
that took you to cedar falls
G D G
or is this kansas city? hell i dont know!
G
we just kept on rolling
C
it was to late to turn around
G
ran out of road in arizona

D
do you remember what we talked about , i
C G
just remember your face
G
the prettiest thing that
D G
i have ever seen

G
then you left me in that depot
C G
in gastonia with your mother
G D G
and what you still had left of self respect
G
at least you tried to tell me
C G
but that’s when i was drinkin’
G
and i could not find the words
D G
to win you back

D
do you remember what we talked about , i
C G
just remember your face
G
the prettiest thing that
D G
i have ever seen

G
well you change you mind about
G C
i sure understand
G D
years and miles are not what you deserve
G
i heard you got married
G C
and he’s a decent man
G D
although some say he’s a little bit too reserved

D
do you remember what we talked about , i
C G
just remember your face
G
the prettiest thing that
D G
i have ever seen
