Biography:
Apes of the State is an independent Lancaster, PA based folk/pop/punk band consisting of: April Hartman (guitar, banjo, vocals, song writing), Dan Ebersole (mandolin, guitar), Mollie Swartz (violin, keys), and Max Scott (vocals, bells, guitar).
April’s first release, “All I Did This Summer Was Go to Rehab (2014),” can be self-described as equal parts cringey and genius. It documents her first ever experiments in song writing and sobriety after uprooting her life in New Jersey to start over post-rehab in Lancaster, PA.

[Intro/ verses / chorus] C E Am F
[Intro]( palm muted) C E Am F
[Verse 1]
C E Am
Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved
F
And I wanted to ask you about it
C E
But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth
Am F
And you called me out for being bad at listening
C E
So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen
Am F
And that I think that you are really cute
C E
And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but
Am F
I don't really have that much to lose
[Chorus](strummed):
C E
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
Am F
and I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention
C E Am
and I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when
F Fsus2
we talked and I listened
C E Am F
yeah I listened
[Verse 2]
C E Am F
so this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had
F
inside my head
C E
like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color
Am F
and that you have been sad for as long as you remember
C E Am
and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when
F
you're depressed
C E Am F C E
and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you
Am F C C E Am F
had sat next to me on the couch
[BRIDGE] (notes picked instead of strummed)
C E Am
And I'm scared that this list is too long
F C E
That I can't fit all these things into a song
Am F
And still keep your attention
C E Am F C
So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate
E Am F
Just how well that I listened
C E Am F C E
Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from
Am F
feeling sad all the time
C E Am
And that your favorite flowers are impatiens
F C E
And that when you love somebody you wait
Am F
Patiently for them
C E Am F
And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption
C E Am F
And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn
C E Am F
And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date
(Strum chords once and hold)
C E Am F C
And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this and I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie
E
because I care
Am F
What you think about me
C E Am F
And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision
Fsus2
Be your next poor decision
Fsus2
Be your next poor decision
[Chorus]
C E Am F
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
C E Am F
And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and
C E Am F
I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta
C E Am F
Cause you said you really liked them when we talked
Fsus2
And I listened
C
Yea, I listened
