Biography:
Straylight Run was the project of ex-Taking Back Sunday members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. The band formed in May 2003 shortly after John and Shaun left Taking Back Sunday due to personal differences with lead singer Adam Lazzara. John and Shaun had been writing songs while still in the old band that they felt didn't fit in with Taking Back Sunday's style, and the freedom of starting a new band gave them a chance to experiment with this new sound.

G|------2---------2-0-------------4------|
D|----0---------------4-------------6----| (x2)
A|------------0--------------------------|
E|--------------------2------(0)---------|
Note this is obviously not played on guitar in the actual version – and to play the last
of the intro essentially play a D chord but slid up 2 frets so you’re playing 454xxx –
can play the bottom E open optionally
VERSE 1:
D A F#m E D
We’ll wait in line for most our lives.
A F#m E D
Get out, get in, get on with it.
A F#m E D
We always hurt the ones we never really love.
A F#m E D
We always think we’re all alone, we’re always...
A F#m E D
Wrong... We’re always...
A F#m E
Wrong...
CHORUS:
D E A
The words we say
D E A
Take diff’rent shapes.

VERSE 2:
D A F#m E D
We’ll live and die with all the things we recognize.
A F#m E D
We’ll count our sins. Stop now. Begin.
A F#m E D
We know the words are better left unspoken when
A F#m E D
They’ll be right in to tear the heads off of us.
A F#m E D
Oooh... tear the heads off of us.
A F#m E D
Oooh...
(CHORUS)

G A D
To try and get your point across...

ENDING:
No Guitar – but essentially it is still playing over the same chords which I have but in
(not actually played on the record – but if you want to play them till the end then
they are)
(D) (A) (F#m) (E) (D)
I’ll live and die with all the things I recognize.
