Ten Thousand Words by The Avett Brothers
Ten Thousand Words
D C G G
D C G G
D C G G
D C G G
D C
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
G D C G
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
D C G
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
D C G
Still can't find out how to hold my hands
D C G
And I know you need me in the next room over
D C G
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
D C
For months I got myself in ruts
G D C G
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
D C G G
D C G G
D C G
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
D C G
And says I'm too caught up
D C
They say young is good and old is fine
G
And truth is cool but all that matters
D C G
Is you have your good times
D C
But their good times come with prices
G D C G
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
D C G
At anyone's expense except their own
D C G
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
C G C G
C G C G
D C G

And after we are through ten years
G D C G
Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts
D C
I'll come back home without my things
G D C G
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
D C G
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings
D C G
And how the experts all have had their doubts
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about

version 2
Capo VII (7)
The only time this chord progression changes is before the last verse
and at the end of the song. That part is just F and C back and forth.
As for the rest: G F C the whole way down
G F
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
C
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
G F C
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
Still can't find out how to hold my hands
And I know you need me in the next room over
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
For months I got myself in ruts
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
And says I'm too caught up
They say young is good and old is fine
And truth is cool but all that matters
Is that you have your good times
But their good times come with prices
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expese except their own
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
And after we are through ten years
Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts
I'll come back home without my things
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings
And how the experts all have had their doubts
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about

And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief and says I'm too caught up.
They say young is good and old is fine and truth is cool, but all that matters is you
your good times.
But those good times come with prices and I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expense except their own, would they laugh if they knew who paid?

about C G x2
C, G, x4
And after we are through, ten years in making it to be the most of glorious debuts
I'll come back home without my things cause the clothes I wore out there I will
not wear round you.
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings, and how the experts all have had their doubts.
D Ain't it like most people, C I'm no diff G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't D
about CG x4 D
As for the rhythm in this piece, I'm pretty sure it goes like this:
(Relative to capo 2)
D C G
e-------------------------------------------|e
B-----3---------1---------0---0--0--0-------|B
G----2---2-----0---0-----0---0--0--0--------|G
D---0---0-0---2---2-2---0---0--0--0---------|D
A--0---------3---------2--------------------|A
E-------------------------------------------|E
At any rate, this pretty much repeats throughout the whole song and there is some
in addition, however I'm not quite sure where that occurs. He might be using a pentatonic
at the seventh fret from the looks of the video.
