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.

My thoughts are tangled twisted fears Em Been waitin' a while now on the dawn C Seems like the sun may never come
G I made my way through the darkest night
To the break of day on the other side Em For some time the light's been creepin' in C Now I'm feeling like I could trust again
DEm You're the only person who reminds me G Love is beautiful and true C Life is beautiful and new DEmC You're the only person who reminds me
GBmC Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone D I've been terrified of life for way to long GBmEm Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone DC In another life who knows what we'd become
G-G-Bm-C G-Em-Bm-C
EmD Love is beautiful and true CGEmD Life is beautiful and new
G Been making plans and drawing maps
I plan to take the righteous path Em And hope and pray it leads me back C To all the happiness I had
G Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love Em And every word that stretched the truth C Like when she said she loved me DEmC You're the only person who reminds me
GBmC Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone D I've been terrified of life for way to long GBmEm Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone DC In another life who knows what we'd become
GBmC Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone D Ohhhhhh oh oh oh GBmEm Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone DC In another life who knows what we'd become

G Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love Em And every word that stretched the truth C Like when she said she loved me
