Biography:
Strand of Oaks is the rock project of American songwriter and producer Timothy Showalter.
In 2003, Showalter's house burned down, his fiancée left him, and he resorted to writing songs on an acoustic guitar while living on park benches in suburban Philadelphia. Those events informed the entirety of his arresting debut, Leave Ruin , an album about loss and brokenness and lack of faith. But as affecting as it was, Showalter is leery of being stuck in the past.

Strand of Oaks - Two Kids
Another great Tim Showalter tune. This is a fairly easy one to play with some
hammers here and there to liven it up. Listen to the song to get the rhythm and vocal timing.
CHORDS
Em (E 000220 E) (Hammer D)
A (E 002220 E) (Hammer D)
G (E 300023 E) (Hammer A)

CAPO 5
INTRO
Em > G > A > D
Em G
and I will sneak into your front window
A D
and I won't complain when you kick me out
Em G
and I will leave your bed just like I found it
A D
and I won't complain when you lay me down
Em > G > A > D
Em G
and I don't even care if you have two kids
A D
and I won't complain when they keep me up
Em G
and I've heard all the things your ex-husband did
A D
and I won't complain when he beats me up
Em
cause men my age
G
it's hard for us to say
D Em
all the places we've gone wrong
Em
I hope someday
G
to whisper and say
A D
you're the one I rely on
Em > G > A > D (x4)
Em G
and I wanna have long days
A D
and I won't complain when the crickets get loud
