The Avett Brothers - Victory Chords

[intro]

[verse one]
D#         F7        A#
 I don't write cause I don't think
D#         F7     A#
 I don't have a need to speak
D#       F7       A#                     D#
 I don't see the bright side, quite as clear
    F7          A#
Accolades and happy days
D#          F7       A#
 They don't ever last
D#   F7        A#    D#                    F7
 Stories of courage clouded up with fear

[chorus]
       A#
In the broom grass, I would lie
D#                      F7
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
     A#          D#
From victory, I tried
   A#                       D#
To match eternal light with how I lead my life
   F7                      A#       D#
Of course, I was forced to retreat
              F7
From victory I accept defeat

[verse two]
D#     F7          A#
 Waxy green and yellow walls
D#   F7       A#
 Outside my windows fall
D#   F7         A#                   D#
 Covering the light I thought I'd see
      F7         A#
am I sad or am I sick?
D#      F7            A#
 What's at the root of it?
D#      F7     A#
 Do I throw my hands and quit?
D#                   F7
 Something tells me no

[chorus]
       A#
In the broom grass, I would lie
D#                      F7
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
     A#            D#
From victory, I tried
   A#                       D#
To match eternal light with how I lead my life
   F7                      A#       D#
Of course, I was forced to retreat
              F7
From victory I accept defeat

[post-chorus]
A#  D#  F7

[bridge]
Cm                          A#
Worries on all sides of my mind
   Cm                         D#     F7
In silence, my darkness is denied

[chorus]
       A#
In the broom grass, I would lie
D#                      F7
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
      A#         D#
From victory, I tried
    A#                       D#
To match eternal light with how I lead my life
   F7                      A#       D#
Of course, I was forced to retreat
              F7            A#
From victory I accept defeat
     D#        F7
From victory I accept defeat
