Smithsonian - The Avett Brothers

Smithsonian chords

[Chorus]
G                      C       G
Call the Smithsonian I made a discovery
G                                  D
Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free
G               B7                C           G
Loved ones will break your heart with or without you
C            G            D         G
Turns out we don't get to know everything
 
G  C  G  C  G  C  D  G
 
[Verse 1]
D                         C
Get the young scientists, tell them "come quick"
  G                            D
I must be the first man that's ever seen this
D                    C
Lines on my face, my teeth are not white
   G                       D
My eyes do not work and my legs don't move right
 
 
[Chorus]
G                      C       G

[Verse 2]
D                 C
I wonder if Romeo ever got scared
G                 D
Taken but shaken, unprepared
D                  C
Under the balcony, under the trees
G                  D
Fully unknowing of where this would lead
D                   C
What if we marry or give up the ghost?
G             D
Or we abandon those we love most?
D                 C
What if you carry me and lay me down
G                       D
Once you get used to me being around?
 
[Chorus]
G                      C       G

[Verse 3]
D                       C
My bedroom's an office, my kitchen's a car
G                  D
My life is a joke, my bathroom's a bar
D                 C
I go there a lot, more than I should
G                           D
I know I should stop but it feels too damn good

G                                  D
Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free
G               B7                C           G
Loved ones will break your heart with or without you
C            G            D         G
Turns out we don't get to know everything
