Biography:
The band started in spring of 2006 when Tim and Andrew were on opposite sides of the country talking about potentially working together. Andrew ended up moving from California to Charlottesville, Virginia while Tim was finishing up school at UVA. By then, Luan and Tim were already playing music together and Tim had written and recorded a few solo tracks. So the trio began as "Tim Be Told."
The band has released two LPs (Getting By in 2007 and Humanity in 2011) and an EP (From the Inside in 2009).

One Chance – Tim Be Told
No Capo or Capo 1 with chord progression Am F C G
[Intro]
Bbm F# C# x2
V1
Bbm F# C#
Climb this ladder if you can
Bbm F# C#
Lay waste the dreams and plans you planned
Bbm F# C#
And all you had to do was sing
Bbm F# C#
Think of the joy that you could bring
Bbm C# F# C#
So I sang every rung at the top of my lungs
Bbm F# C#
But no one's ever listening
[CHORUS]
Bbm F# G# C#
Cause I'm to young to call it a day
Bbm F# G# C#
And I'm too old to make anymore mistakes
Bbm C# F#
And can I make something beautiful
G# Bbm
Just once before I die
F# C# G# Bbm
Give me one chance to try
Bbm F# C#
O-o-ooo o-o-o-ooooo
V2
Bbm F# C#
I built my fortress with my hands
Bbm F# C#
It washed away just like the sand
Bbm F# C#
And all I had to do was sing
Bbm F# C#
Who knew it'd cost me everything
Bbm C# F# C#
So I sang every note just to keep it afloat
Bbm F# C#
But no one's ever listening
[CHORUS]
Bbm F# G# C#
Cause I'm to young to call it a day
Bbm F# G# C#
And I'm too old to make anymore mistakes
Bbm C# F#
And can I make something beautiful
G# Bbm
Just once before I die
F# C# G# Bbm
Give me one chance to try
Bbm F# C#
I'm singin' at the top of my lungs
Bbm F# C#
(O-o-ooo o-o-o-ooooo)
V3/Bridge:
Bbm F# C#
I could live my whole life long
Bbm F# C#
And not a soul would hear my song
Bbm F# C#
Well that wouldn't mean a thing
Bbm F# C#
Cause you will be my everything
Bbm C# F# C#
And I'll sing every part with all of my heart
Bbm F# C#
Cause you are always listening
[LAST CHORUS]
Bbm F# G C#
Cause I'm too young to call it a day
Bbm F# G C#
And I'm too old to have nothing left to say
Bbm C# F#
And I will make you something beautiful
G# Bbm
Each day until I die
F# C# G# Bbm
Or at least I will try
Bbm F# C#
I'm singin' at the top of my lungs
(O-o-ooo o-o-o-ooooo)
