Lyrics:

Make me sanguine
Help me genuinely
Kill the doubt that strangles myself worth
Paint the picture that I swore I heard

Spiritless and mean
Ghost that comes between
I will keep my wits about myself
Disregard directions sent from hell

When it brings the gleam
Longer lasting than me
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't hear me cry
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't see me

2. When I Drink
   Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2
Tabbed By: Mickel_S


Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_avett_brothers/the_gleam_tab.html ]
   C      Am    F              G             Am     C  
When I drink,   I say things I don't wanna say
F             G             C   C/B    Am
I do things i don't  wanna do
F              G
I talk mean to you.
C         Am     F                 G                   Am     C  
But if I think,   I just might get something out of this
F                       G             C   C/B   Am
My parents taught me to learn  when i miss  
F            G
Just do your best.
Am           C
Just do your best.


Chorus:

  Em                           Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                              G
at least a little better than I've been so far.


Verse 2:

C             Am    F                    G               Am     C
 But when I drink,   I hear things that aren't really there
F                      G               C    C/B   Am 
I feel things when i shouldn't  really care
     F                    G
Have fist fights with the air.
C            Am   F              G         Am      C
 But if I think,   about someone besides myself
F                     G            C   C/B   Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F                G
With something to tell
Am            C
 Just do your best


Chorus:

  Em                           Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                              G
at least a little better than I've been so far.


Verse 3:

C            Am     F                G             Am     C     
 But when I drink,   I spend the next morning in a haze
F            G          C   C/B   Am   
But we only get so many days
F              G
Now I have one less
Am          C
Just do your best.


Chorus:

  Em                           Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                              G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
      F                               G               C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.

3. Yard Sale
   Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 1
Tabbed By: Unregistered (thanks for your help!)

  C                         F 
I wonder if this blade ran through someone's side
    Dm                  FaddG
The blood wiped away to hide
F    FaddG           F         FaddG     F
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
     C                     F          C
But war can make monsters out of us all
 Dm                     FaddG       F
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
     C            Dm      G
And then it would be my blade
            Fmaj7  C
Here at this yard sale



The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale

A dollar for anything here on this quilt
A price tag for hands from which all things are built
A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
A basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale

So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
Made of a yard sale

Some things you say and you can't take 'em back
F                     C 
What makes it easy to run from the past,
       G
like a child runs from the dark?
C                       G
Which is the poison and which is the wine?
Am                           C
The scent and the colors are so much alike
F                            C
And how much of each will it take to decide,
           G
when your at the table alone?
C                         C
Where do you go when it's perfectly clear?

You might find your way but you won't find it here
