The Ballad Of Love And Hate
The Avett Brothers
Key : Eb
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
D#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D#                       A#               D#
Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate:
    G#                                 D#
"My vacation's ending, I'm coming home late
    G#              A#       D#             Cm
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
      D#            A#            G#
And I can't wait to see you again"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D#                        A#            D#
Hate reads the letter and throws it away
G#                                  D#
"No one here cares if you go or you stay
  G#          A#           D#           Cm
I barely even noticed that you were away
     D#           A#         G#
I'll see you or I won't, whatever"

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D#                       A#                   D#
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky
    G#                                   D#
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes
    G#       A#           D#            Cm
And everyone knows it whenever she flies
    D#   A#             G#
And also when she comes down

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D#                         A#                      D#
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street
G#                            D#
Every stranger and drifter he greets
    G#                A#    D#            Cm
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
       D#      A#          G#
With a serious look on his face

[Verse 5]
---------------------
D#                       A#             D#
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow
G#                                   D#
Carrying with her the good things we know
  G#        A#         D#            Cm
A reason to live and a reason to grow
   D#        A#       G#
To trust, to hold, to care

[Verse 6]
---------------------
D#                     A#             D#
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car
    G#                                 D#
Without much regard to the moon or the stars
G#     A#          D#           Cm
Lazily killing the last of a jar
       D#        A#            G#
Of the strongest stuff you can drink

[Verse 7]
---------------------
D#                   A#       D#
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives
   G#                              D#
As soon he sees her hope fills his eyes
    G#             A#         D#             Cm
But tears follow after at the end of the ride
           D#          A#       G#
Because he might never see her again

[Verse 8]
---------------------
D#                      A#            D#
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive
   G#                                     D#
He screams over the sidewalk and into the drive
    G#           A#           D#          Cm
The clock in the kitchen says twofiftyfive
        D#           A#         G#
And the clock in the kitchen is slow

[Verse 9]
---------------------
D#                    A#          D#
Love has been waiting patient and kind
     G#                                   D#
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign
         G#           A#              D#             Cm
That the one that she cares for who's out of his mind
     D#           A#          G#
Will make it back safe to her arms

[Verse 10]
---------------------
D#                        A#               D#
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door
G#                                D#
Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor
   G#                  A#       D#                  Cm
He says, "Love, I'm sorry," and she says, "What for?
    D#               A#      G#
I'm yours and that's it, whatever

[Outro]
---------------------
  G#                  A#   D#          Cm
I should not have been gone for so long
    D#               A#    G#
I'm yours and that's it, forever
       D#              A#    G#
You're mine and that's it, forever"
