Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes is the side project of Matthew Thiessen, lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist of the band Relient K. The name is a joke in itself [reflecting Matty's witty, cheesy but fun sense of humor] because there are no "Earthquakes;" this is a project composed simply of Matt Thiessen and his piano. Around since 1998, Matthew Thiessen has not released an entire album but has found his way onto several compilations, including the June 27, 2006 release of My Other Band, Vol.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

EBC#m I'm faking my own suicide AE Because I know you love me AB You just haven't realized EBC#m I'm faking my own suicide AB They'll hold a double funeral G#mC#mBA Because a part of you will die along with me Am It’s kinda sweet
Verse Two:
E – BC#m I wish you thought that I was dead ABC#mE So rather than me you'd be depressed instead BC#m And before arriving at my grave AB You'd come to the conclusion G#mC#m You'd loved me all your days BA But it's too late Am Too late for you to say

EBC#m I'll write you a letter that you'll keep ABC#mE Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep BC#m You say aloud that you would have been my wife ABG#mC#mBA Right about that time is when I come back to life and let you know Am I'd let you know
Chorus:
EBC#m That all along I was faking my own suicide AE Because I know you love me AB You just never realized EBC#m I was faking my own suicide ABG#mC#m I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide BA Opened so wide Am Because you know

EAB Because you know you will never leave my side EAB Until the day that I die for the first time EAB And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh, and we will cry EAB So overjoyed at our love that's so alive E Our love is so alive
