The Avett Brothers

Die Then Grow

by The Avett Brothers
The Avett Brothers

Biography:

The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

Die Then Grow - Avett Brothers


VERSE 1

G C G
Can you say your name to me, put mine after yours?
G C G
Can we build a house of glass without windows or doors?
G C G
Will you learn to love yourself the way I know you should?
G C G
Can we find the courage there to call our friendship good?
Bm G
Call it good, call it good

CHORUS

G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do
G C G Em C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

VERSE 2

G C G
The world is closing in on me, I think it's time I go
G C G
And with your sad young eyes you've taught me things I didn't know
G C G
And my heart broke down to powder there and I wish I'd let it show
G C G
And I listened as you said to me you'd rather die than grow
Bm G
Die than grow, die than grow

CHORUS

G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do
G C G Em C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

VERSE 3

G C G
So I watched as those who ask for love, demanding some respect
G C G
Became the last in line to have what they come to expect
G C G
As what nobody taught them that they so rightly deserve
G C G
And the hums of their misfortune peaked, the hardest lesson learned
Bm G
Lesson learned, lesson learned

CHORUS

G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do
G C G Em C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

BRIDGE

G C
To watch us fall is why they came
G Em C
And fall we did, to the call of the highway
G C Em
Don't go home, don't look ahead, don't look behind
D C
Everything we were is dead

VERSE 4

G C G
Then a well of hope and talent sprang, and I caught a glimpse of light
G C G
And I drank from there as the colors rang out loudly from your eyes
G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
G C G
Don't let romance or beating hearts change what we came to do
G C G
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you (Repeat. Lose yourself in it!)

Bm G
Die then grow, Die then grow
Bm G
Die then grow, Die then grow


Like most Avett songs, this one is build around a basic chord progression,
but infused with subtle artistry. The chords are only the starting
framework. There are diminished C’s, etc. I welcome corrections.
I’ve been mooching here for years, and this is my first submission.

Enjoy!
