Switchfoot is a Grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Switchfoot-The Blues [email protected] Nothing Is Sound (I recieved a pre-release. I will not send it to you.) This is quite possibly the best song on the album, and though it is easy, pay attention to the changes. It is in standard tuning, and all the chords are open form. DG Is this the New Year, or just another night? DG Is this the new fear, or just another fright? GBmAD Is this the new tear, or just another desperation?
DG Is this the finger, or just another fist? DG Is this the kingdom, or just a hit-and-miss? GBmABm A misdirection, most of all this desperation.
D Is this what they call freedom? A Is this what you call pain? BmG Is this what they call discontented fame? DA It'll be a day like this one, ABm When the world caves in, when the world caves in, GD when the world caves in
DG I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass DG For broken arms and broken noses in the back GBmABmG Is this the New Year, or just another desperation?
DA You push until you're shoving A You bend until you break, BmG Do you stand on the broken field where your fathers lay? DA It'll be a day like this one, ABm When the world caves in, when the world caves in, GD when the world caves in
ABmG When the world caves in, GDA when the world caves in, AABmG when the world caves in
DA There's nothing here worth saving, A There's no one here at all BmG Is there any net left that could break our fall? DA It'll be a day like this one
ABm When the sky falls down, BmGD when the hungry and poor and deserted are found.
DA Are you discontented? ABm Have you been pushing hard? BmG Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards? DA It'll be a day like this one, ABm When the world caves in, when the world caves in, GDGDG when the world caves in
DG Is there nothing left now? Nothing left to sing? DG Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy? GBmABmG Is this the New Year, or just another desperation? Yeah, yeah
DA Does justice ever find you? A Do the wicked never lose? BmG Is there any other song to sing besides these blues? DA And nothing is OK, ABm Till the world caves in, till the world caves in, GD till the world caves in, till the world caves in. ABm Till the world caves in, till the world caves in, GD till the world caves in, till the world caves in. ABm Till the world caves in, till the world caves in, GD till the world caves in,
