Biography:
With the release of their debut EP, Hearts and Spades, the San Francisco Bay Area twenty-somethings better known as I the Mighty are proving themselves a musically seismic force to be reckoned with. With their high-energy, technical riffs and singer Brent Walsh's distinctive wailing, I the Mighty can be best compared to bands like Circa Survive and Say Anything.
It didn't take long for I the Mighty to start making an impression on the West Coast.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Alright, so this song seriously grew on me. The chorus always left me hanging, but I appreciate this
piece as a whole now, so which is why I wanted to churn the chords out for it. Hope you enjoy!
Intro lead in: Ab
Bbm
You left the room and all my senses left with you
Eb
and now my body's just a place for blood.
Bbm
If I could taste then I'd be shaking in my place
Eb
just at the thought of what your lips taste of.
Bbm
Oh, you love to string me along and I know it,
Eb
but resistance always lingers on my tongue.
Bbm
You're afraid you'll never belong.
Eb
And I say it, but it's always tongue in cheek.
( Eb )
I choose all the right words but the words work against me.
Db Fm
Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends.
Db Fm
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again.
Bbm Ab F# Eb
But if you're gonna make empty threats, then how dare you?
Bbm Ab F# Eb
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
Bbm Ab F# Eb F# Eb
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on, then come on!
Bbm
I must admit, there was a time when you were it.
Eb
You had my body, had my soul, my love.
Bbm
But how we switched... I cracked the code,
Eb
I scratched the itch, and you're aware the spell is wearing off.
Bbm
You no longer string me along, and you know it.
Eb
Bet it eats away at that confidence you feign.
Bbm
From afar I fell for it all,
Eb
but close up it comes off trite and cheap.
( Eb )
You could take it all off and I'd still keep my mind clean.
Db Fm
Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends.
Db Fm
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again.
Bbm Ab F# Eb
But if you're gonna make empty threats, then how dare you?
Bbm Ab F# Eb
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
Bbm Ab F# Eb F# Eb
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on, then come on!
Bbm Ab F#
I've got this medicine in my head.
Bbm Ab F#
Every day it secretes and tells me what I should have said.
Bbm Ab F#
So I live in dread...
Bbm Ab F#
That every thought that I vocalize should be silence instead.
Bbm Ab F#
I've got this notebook that begs for love.
Bbm Ab F#
I hear it screaming: "Come on boy, fill me like that whiskey cup!"
Bbm Ab F#
So I ripped him up...
Bbm Ab F#
Then I poured out a sip in remembrance of my paper-cuts.
Bbm Ab F#
I've got this painting that looks just like you.
Bbm Ab F#
I'm sure the one who laid brush to canvas simply had no clue
Bbm Ab F# Bbm Ab F#
of the damage they'd do. With every look that I give, it burns. Let it burn!
