Kind of Like Spitting has taken a staunchly independent approach to making records and performing, releasing eight records (at latest count) on small DIY indie labels (including but not limited to Hush Records, Barsuk, and Redder Records) , and doing tours across the country in a variety of venues, from the neighborhood house party to the big rock arena.

Now this is very easy to play, it's just four chords all the way through. On the album version Ben's guitar is tuned slightly high, but there's a great live recording from the Fireside Bowl where he has his guitar in tune.
GEm Our savior's fallen ill, and he won't get up
DAm We've cast away our stones, why won't he get up?
GEm So unawake with you, you let me drive your car
DAm You let me break your heart and still not want to give up
GEmD So now the only time I get to see you smile
AmG Is in the darkest rooms with the brownest tiles
EmD And to hear you laugh is a sweet refrain
AmG So sick with joy, I'm the perfect boy
G, Em, D, Am
GEm Our savior's fallen ill, but here's a souvenir
DAm Another saint to pierce against your bedroom wall
GEmD It says you can't give up and that you won't wake up
