This is the chords of I Should\’ve Spent The Day With My Family by The Avett Brothers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C                           F
I woke up very early like I tend 
to do most days
         C                      
Gathered up my clothes, my watch,
                G      G7
 and pocket knife
         C                       
It would be almost an hour before
     F
 the sun would show it\'s face
      C                       G  
And I tried to be quiet so as not 
            C
to wake my wife
C                         
Turning on my phone was the
  F
 first mistake I made
   C                         
My heart sunk when I read the
               G
 first headline
          C                        
There had been another shooting and
           F
 this time not so far away
C                            
And a child who lost his life 
        G              C
looked awful lot like mine

[Verse 2]
C                       F
I sat there in the dark for
 I don\'t know how long
C                             
Without the first idea of what
      G     G7
 to do
C                            
I walked into the kitchen and 
            F
turned the coffee maker on
C                               
And stood there feeling hopeless 
     G                  C
and staring at the moon
C                             
And when the house got lively, 
       F
I was working double time
C                         
Scrambling eggs and trying
           G    G7
 not to cry
C                          F
Jennifer was getting Isaac dressed 
and packed for school
      C                      
I was wondering when God left 
        G             C
and why he didn\'t say goodbye


[Chorus]
G                     G7      
I should\'ve spent the day with 
    C
my family
          Am                 
Instead I tried and failed to
              F#/D
 work all day long
        G          G#m6      
Lord, I should have spent the 
               Am
day with my family
             F          G         
On days like this, they alone make
    F       G      C
 me want to carry on

[Verse 3]
C                         F
Throughout the day I kept hearing
 all the details
C                            
Though I didn\'t check in much 
               G     G7
but watch the news
C                       
Some tragedies you know, 
      F
they have no explanation
C                         G    
And the word \"everything\" don\'t
                   C
 cover what you lose
C                                  
So I spend the whole day pacing back
      F
 and forth all by my lonesome
C                       
Questioning the point in
                   G      G7
trying to write a song
C                             
And it sure is hard to focus on
  F
 anything on all
C                                
And you can\'t get something right
      G               C
 when everything feels wrong

[Chorus]
G                     G7          C
I should\'ve spent the day with my family
          Am                 
Instead I tried and failed to 
              F#/D
work all day long
        G          G#m6      
Lord, I should have spent the
               Am
 day with my family
             F          G         
On days like this, they alone make 
    F       G      C
me want to carry on

[Verse 4]
C                             F
By sundown I was worn out, no closer
 to understanding
    C                       
The evil things that happen 
         G    G7
every day
C                               F
My wife and I shared a beer and talked
 about the future
C                            G    
Agreeing on the fact that we would 
                   C
have to find a way
C                                
Though sometimes I don\'t know how 
      F
this world continues turning
         C                        G
What has happened will never be undone
    C                              
But tomorrow I think I\'ll just try
     F
 to keep the day wide open
       C                        
And as much as they will have me, 
          G                  C
be with people that I love

All of these fathers with their
  C
 bald spots
G           F                       C
Pull to the car line dropping kids off

Sometimes I don\'t see love in anything

Fill it up like an ocean

When my dreams feel like a rusty rail
G              F               C
That I slapped on a coat of paint
Dm7          G                   
As the layer cracked and chipped

and failed

This wretched lie is all that remains
