Biography:
SWMRS (formerly "Emily's Army") is an American punk rock band formed in Oakland, California in 2004 by Cole Becker and Joey Armstrong, with Cole's brother Max joining only a few weeks afterwards. They drew on a mix of influences ranging from the Beach Boys to the Ramones to create their own brand of rock and roll. The band added Travis Neumann in 2009, who later left in 2014 due to creative differences. The band released a demo and a string of EPs from 2008 to 2010.

G
There'll never be a day

When reality can shut me up
I like to think and believe
In how I was brought up
G
I'm part of a people
The people of today
Em
Of stories young and old
And the people those portray
[Verse]
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end
G
Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
[Chorus]

[Verse]
G
Shoutout to the folks
Em
Who grew up to live around
Those who are different
And those who hear the sounds
G
Of that art that speaks to them
Whether or not they agree with it
Em
Still got a chance to speak
Before some asshole said away with it
[Verse]
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end

Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
[Chorus]

6: Ruining my Pretending
[Verse]
G
There'll never be a day
Em
When reality can shut me up
I like to think and believe
In how I was brought up
G
I'm part of a people
The people of today
Em
Of stories young and old
And the people those portray
[Verse]
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end
G
Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
[Chorus]
G Em C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G Em C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
G Em C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G Em C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
[Verse]
G
Shoutout to the folks
Em
Who grew up to live around
Those who are different
And those who hear the sounds
G
Of that art that speaks to them
Whether or not they agree with it
Em
Still got a chance to speak
Before some asshole said away with it
[Verse]
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end
G
Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
[Chorus]
G Em C
It's just a story we all know the feeling

You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending

It's just a story we all know the feeling

You don't believe it you're ruining my...

You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending

You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
[Bridge]
C
Some look out the window
When the moon is getting high
G
And some look at the walls
When there's fireworks outside
C
Well me I'm just a fool
Me I'm just a fool
G D
Me I'm just a fool
[Chorus]
It's just a story we all know the feeling
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
