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.

Verse 1:
Em G
Some of us are born and then
D C
some of us are born again
Em G
Some of us are scared to death
D C
and some just don't believe in
Em G D C
it Something is always wrong
Em G D
There's a lie an idea
C
I can't get behind
Em G
No one knows what's
D C Em G
right some try Some
D C
try to find a king
Chorus 1:
C
They sing "Who
G
will save us now?
It's our life but
Am
we don't want to live
C
it" We want to be
G
told now by something
or something who's
Am
better than us
C
Who we know
we can trust
D
Who'll always
Am
protect us but keep
us scared to death so
C
we never ask questions
D
Who'll dictate the
Am
consequences of our actions
C
and give us peace of mind
C
about our miserable lives
D
Confined and content
All we want is
Em G D C Em-G-D-C
a place we can hide
Verse 2:
Em
So we've always
G
fought our wars
D
for what we're told
C
is worth dying for
Em
Land and love and
G
god and wealth
D
but men in charge
C
protect themselves
Em G D
You can rest assured
that it's the
Em G D
young and the poor
C
who've fought all them
Em
Our wars led to
G D C
death by men who
Em G D
they chose and hoped
C
would protect them
Chorus 2:
C
and "Who will save
G
us now? It's our
Am
life but we don't
want to live it"
C
And all you'll get
G
is down because the
people you elect to
Am
protect your best interests
C
will just protect themselves
D
and all their investments
Am
and even the few with the
C
best of intentions will
D
just push their views
Am
what they think is right
C
for you and everyone
else You can't think
for yourself because
D
you've chosen to let
Em G D C Em-G-D-C-
someone else do it for you
Verse 3:
Em
So we're left to
G
drift between
D
our waking life and
C
all of our dreams
Em
Reality is
G D
relative and all
that's all the
C
advice I'll give
Em G D
Life and death are hard
C Em G
They're such strange
D C
and complicated issues
Em G
So listen and listen
D C Em G
well for insight
D
but no one knows
C
what's right for you
Chorus 3:
C G
"Who will save us now? It's
Am
a wrong and irrelevant question
C G
Because we figure it out
with the people who love us
Am
Who call us half brothers
C
for lessons we've learned
D
for our fathers and mothers
Am
not looking for someone
C
to find our solutions
D
Fight all our battles
Am
or show us what truth is
C
It's by working hard to
find our own peace of mind
D
Living and learning until we
Em G D C Em-G-D-C
know what's right for our lives
