A Slight Figure Of Speech

The Avett Brothers A Slight Figure of Speech (This song is genius...and the video made me laugh so hard I sharted) Capo 2 d-0-0-0-0-0 a-2-3-2-3-2 E-3-x-x-x-x Intro [G*] x4 They say you’re got to lose a couple fights to win [C] [D]It’s hard to tell from where I’m sitting [G] They say that this is where the fun begins [C] [D]I guess it’s time that I was quitting[G] [G]I cut my chest [C] wide open [Em]They come and [D] watch us bleed [G]Is it art like I was [C] hoping now? * They said "I hope that you will never change" I went and cut my hair They say "Don’t take your business to the big time" I bought us tickets there A slight figure of speech I cut my chest wide open They come and watch us bleed Is it art like I was hoping now? What did you expect And what did you forget That to live you let go of me with each step It becomes a progression I won’t let regret manifest To aggression Are you to assess what I’ve been? What I am? Or become? Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb It can be to Attack those around ’cause you’re It’s not you it’s not mine        And besides it is gone And you never will find it again But I don’t want to fight I just ask let me be I won’t give the chance to be my enemy So go home Think it through A jet plane and a big idea I jump over the sea What ifs hot on my trail But that can’t catch me no A slight figure of speech I cut my chest wide open They come and watch us bleed Is it art like I was hoping now?
