Screeching Weasel is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois. They were formed in 1986 by Ben Weasel (aka Ben Foster who also used to be a columnist for the punk fanzine Maximum Rocknroll) and John Jughead (aka John Pierson). The band gained prominence in the early 1990s after signing to East Bay punk label, Lookout! Records and are cited to be a major influence over many bands playing that style of punk music.
Through the years, the band went through many line-up changes

*** ["Every Night"]
[Bass begins alone, playing the verse once. Drums enter the second time through. When the drums enter, turn on distortion or turn up your volume dial to create mild feedback. Guitar enters the third time through, when the words start.]
[Verse]: G#C# I'm not feeling human anymore D#FC# Half connected all the time G#C# Each night I document the things I've done D#FC# The pointless points I've made for stupid reasons
[Chorus]: G#D#C# Every night, every night, every night I'm always the same You're pounding on my brain G#D#C# Tonight and every night I lie down clenching up my teeth Trying to fall asleep
[G# / D# / C#] x2
[Verse]: I've sat and smoked a billion cigarettes And wished to hell that you were here My stained and calloused fingers hold a pen Scratching apologies to you, too late, too little
[Chorus]: Every night, every night Every night I pay off my debts Trust me, I don't forget Tonight and every night I will analyze everything And make myself count the ways C# (strike chord once and let hang) I fucked up today
[G#(pm) / D#(pm) / C#(pm)] Play this progression through the end, taking the palm mutes out when the drums start slamming hard (real technical, I know.)
