Kurt Vile (born 1980 in Philadelphia) is an American guitarist and singer. Previously the lead guitarist in the band The War on Drugs, he began his solo career in 2008.
Though his name is sometimes assumed to be a pseudonym due to its similarity to German composer Kurt Weill, it is in fact his birth name, as given by his parents Donna and Charles Vile.
Vile began his musical career in 2003 creating lo-fi home recordings with frequent collaborator Adam Granduciel.

C F Am Em x1
[Chorus]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long while
C F Am Em
Looked down into a deep dark well
C F Am
Called all your names they echoed down
G
For miles and miles
C F Am Em
And all that other mytical, well, never you mind
[Verse 1]
C F Am Em
Loved them all through many a lifetime
C F Am Em
Some are gone but some still strong
C F Am Em
Some are weird as hell, but we love em
C F Am G
Some are one trick ponies, but we embrace em
C F Am Em
Cause Ive always had a soft spot for repetition
[Chorus]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long while
C F Am Em
Looked down into a deep dark well
C F Am
Called all your names they echoed down
G
For miles and miles
C F Am Em
And all that other mytical, well, never you mind
[Verse 2]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long time
C F Am Em
Looked long into the length of a tunnel
C F
Called all your names
Am G
And we was tripping out 'cause we needed a way out
C F Am Em
And all them other crystalline mystic rationalizations
[Verse 3]
C F Am Em
Loved them all right down to my soul
C F Am Em
Looked well into the depth of a hole
C F Am G
Pondered perpetual motion in the echo
C F Am Em
Just like the song if the repeats were long
[Chorus]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long while
C F Am Em
Looked down into a deep dark well
C F Am
Called all your names they echoed down
G
For miles and miles
C F Am Em
And all that other mytical, well, never you mind
[Verse 4]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long while
C F Am Em
And I'd give my left, nevermind, for one big synchronized smile
C F Am Em
Some are one trick ponies but so am I
C F Am G
Round 'em up into a mixed bag bundle of love now, yeah
[Verse 5]
C F Am Em
Loved them all a long, long tick
C F
And it's four, five, six
Am Em
Prevent your schtick
C F Am G
Throw them at the wall in a mixed bag and see if they stick
C F
Then give 'em a glass of water
Am Em
Give 'em a cherry pie
[Chorus]
C F Am Em
Loved you all a long, long while
C F Am Em
Looked down into a deep dark well
C F Am
Called all your names they echoed down
G
For miles and miles
C F Am Em
And all that other mytical, well, never you mind
