The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after.

Alternatives for this artist

CHORD KEY
Cadd2 - x32030
D/B - x20032
G/C - x30033
Dsus4 - xx0233
Em7 - 022030

TIPS:
1. For slash chords, the first letter is the main chord, the second letter is the bass note.
2. The changes between G and D/B look confusing at times because I tried to line it up
the correct lyrics;
just understand that each chord is 2 beats and that should make it easier.
3. The chorus looks confusing too; it's just Cadd2 (4 beats), Em7 (2 beats), and G (2
till you get to the D (4 beats).

Cadd2 Em7 G

*The album version cuts out after the Cadd2, but if you're playing this live, you might
to end on that G
so it resolves back to the tonic.
