Biography:
Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.

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!
Well, this is my first tab.
to me it sounds better done in bar chords
and im not sure if Relient K plays it Eb,
so i just did standard tuning, besides,
i cant be bothered changing the tuning most of the time
Enjoy.
Intro while the lead guitarist is playing the riff goes C, D, F, C. pretty much
the same as the verse.
This part is also played halfway through the song, just before the second verse.

Verse 1:
C Dm
Yesterday, is not quite what it could've been
F C
As were most of all the days before
C Dm
But I swear today, with every breath I'm breathing in
F C
I'll be trying to make it so much more
Pre-Chorus:
F G Am
Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of whats gone wrong
F C G
And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
F G Am
But I'm finally catching onto it, yeah the past is just a conduit
F C G
And the light there at the end is where I'll be
Chorus:
F G Am
Cause I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup
F G Am
And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of
F G Am
I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, yeah there's nothing left to prove
C B/C Am G F
Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
F(silence)
A better version of me for you
Verse 2:
C Dm
To be prosperous would not require much of me
F C
You see contentment is the one thing it entails
C Dm
To be content with where I am and getting where I need to be
F C
I'm moving past the past where I have failed
Pre-Chorus:
F G
But I'm finally catching onto it
