The genesis of Australian-bred, California-based hard rock outfit Sick Puppies dates back to a 1997 meeting between founding members Shimon Moore (vocals/guitar) and Emma Anzai (bass/vocals) in a suburban Sydney band room. Within ten years, the two high school friends who bonded over a mutual love for Silverchair would find mainstream commercial success on an entirely different continent. With original drummer Chris Mileski, Sick Puppies made their debut with the self-released Dog's Breakfast EP

-------- Verse 1 -------- B I'm holding onto white balloons up against a sky of doom (Bass Drops Down to A#) Tell me you see them
A 'Cause what's inside of me is invisible to most (Bass Drops Down to C#) Even in clear view
B I'm sending out a signal to the possibility of you (Bass Drops Down to A#) 'Cause right at this moment
A I know you're connected to a part of me (Bass Drops to C#) that I don't even know myself
-------- Chorus -------- G The changes in me
A5E Are likely to be like the weather
GA5 Stormy and clear strength into
E fear bound together
-------- Verse 2 -------- B-----(Wait for bass to drop to A#) But I'll break my silence
A If I believed that you and me could ever be (Bass to C#) More than just what's been behind us
B I tried and left, they came and went I got rejected out again (Bass to A#) But no one believes me
A I've worn a hundred faces Of the character replacements and now Nobody sees me
G The changes in me
A5E Are likely to be like the weather
GA5 Cloudy at best...
