Mae is an American rock band that formed in Norfolk Virginia in 2001. The band's name is an acronym for Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, which is derived from a concept called Multi-sensory Aesthetic Theory that drummer Jacob Marshall studied while a student at Old Dominion University.
Jacob Marshall and Dave Elkins began what would become Mae by writing their first song, "Embers and Envelopes", in Marshall's living room. The band signed with Tooth and Nail Records and released their first album, Destination: Beautiful, in 2003.

[Verse] Db It's magic she says to me GbDb My hand to her waist as she approaches sweetly Bbm It's enough when I see that look in her eyes GbAbGb It's enough for me to paralyze
[Chorus] Ab Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown Gb Well nothing feels good being under the gun BbmAbDb Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown
[Verse] Db It's tragic she says to me GbDb A song in the air we're together floating Bbm What I miss everyday since our goodbye GbAbGb was enough for me to realize
[Chorus] Ab Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown Gb Well nothing feels good being under the gun Bbm Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown AbGb Is it ever going to come
Ab Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown Gb Well nothing feels good being under the gun BbmAb Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown
[Bridge] EbmDbBbmAb
Ebm So take care what you wish for for it may come true AbDb But that September sky how it whispered I love you AbBbmGbAb But I couldn't take it any longer no I couldn't stand
Ebm But the nights brought sparks and the sparks brought flames AbDb And you had to be sure this wasn't one of those games AbBbmGbAb But I'm going to show you if you could just give me tonight Gb Tonight...
[Verse] Db Its fragile she says to me GbDb The hair in her eyes she removes it smiling Bbm There's a wound that I know this song could mend GbAbGb A step in time for us will never end
[Chorus] Ab Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown Gb Well nothing feels good being under the gun Bbm Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown AbGb Is it ever gonna come
Ab Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown Gb Well nothing feels good being under the gun BbmAb Oh I'm waiting for the breakdown
