Biography:
Hey Marseilles is a musical group from Seattle, WA, that formed in the summer of 2006 after Nick and Philip forced Matt Bishop to write a song to an accordion riff and play it live for a work party downtown. The current lineup consists of seven members performing on guitars, cello, viola, accordion, piano, bass, glockenspiel, ukulele, mandolin, drums, and a plethora of rhythmic accessories. The music can be described as indie-folk, and has been compared to that of The Decemberists, Devotchka, and Bright Eyes.

G
We left winter behind
G
Shorter days and long nights
C Em G
Were all that was holding us back
C Em G
From people we knew we would find
G
Open air wears you thin
G
They say you'll love again
C Em G
But love's an equation to them
C Em G
Get out what it is you put in
C Em
I will look back
D
I will hold fast
C
To this
[Chorus]
G Bm
Your heart beats
Em
For another day
D
I still believe
G Bm
You love me
Em D
But in a different way
G Bm
The night falls
Em
The city lay asleep
D
Among the crowds
G Bm
We both know
Em D
You're my only dream
C
I'm starting to see
G Bm
Where we went wrong
C
The lives that we lead
G Bm
Will weave on their own
C
You can't climb so high
G Bm
And still see the ground
C
You're on your way up
G Bm
I'm on my way down
[String interlude]
C G Bm x2
G
Looking back where we were
G
There's no way to be sure
C Em G
Things could have gone other ways
C Em G
But you'd follow me to today
G
We'll take up separate lives
G
And in the space that divides
C Em G
A reach for the best of what was
C Em G
And leave all that wasn't behind
C Em
I will look back
D
I will hold fast
C
To this
[Chorus]
G Bm
Your heart beats
Em
For another day
D
I still believe
G Bm
You love me
Em D
But in a different way

The night falls

The city lay asleep

You're my only dream
