Hoobastank (sometimes stylized as "h8bastank") is an American (formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California) rock band best known for their crossover hit "The Reason" (2003) and by their continued success in the modern rock market.
Vocalist Doug Robb met with guitarist Dan Estrin in a high school battle of the bands competition and decided to form a band. They recruited Markku Lappalainen and Chris Hesse to form Hoobastank. In an interview with Yahoo's Launch, Doug Robb said the name had no particular meaning.

Verse 1: F#m I've been having trouble Bm looking in the mirror? F#m When I do I can't stand Bm the person that I see D Although my face is still the same Bm Underneath something has changed C#/F From all the shit you've E said and done to me F#m Did you ever realize Bm the damage you were doing? F#m Were you aware of all the Bm mess that I've cleaned up? D But now I see just who you are Bm I can't believe it got C#/F this far and it's time E to say enough is enough

Verse 2: F#m I should have listened when Bm my friends said you were crazy F#m I should have shown a little Bm spine and self respect D but I couldn't see the signs Bm Your so called love had made me blind C#/FE Tied me up and left me for dead
(Repeat Chorus)
