The Ataris are a punk rock band from Anderson, Indiana formed in 1995. The band originally consisted of singer/songwriter/guitarist Kris Roe and guitarist Jasin Thomason. Using a 4-Track, they wrote and recorded demos in Kris's bedroom, with a drum machine as the drummer. At this point in time the band was searching for a full-time drummer. The first step in their road to success came when Kris attended a The Vandals concert at Bogart's in Cincinnati, where he passed one of the demo tapes to The Vandals' roadie Fitz.

Verse 1: BmAD Beneath the glow of this hanging moon F#mBm Lies a city still and cold AD Our silhouettes walk hand in hand F#m (Repeat Intro twice only) The drunken jukebox serenade BmAD We pretend we're so innocent F#mBm 'Cause no one ever likes to hurt AD Go take off that silver dress F#m(hold) And expose your naked heart
Chorus: DF#m I'm not capable of love Bm That kind of love G That I felt when I was twenty one (Repeat)
(Repeat Intro twice only) Take it back
Verse 2: BmA So happy birthday darling DF#m Watch those candles melt away BmAD Not unlike those chandeliers F#mBm At the bar where we both etched our names AD Who would have thought we'd fall so hard? F#mBm Who would have thought we'd fall so fast? A Optimistic children DD(hold) Clinging tight to all we never had
(Repeat Chorus except last line)
Bridge: F#mG You're the only one I want A (Repeat intro twice) I wish that I could take it back DF#m Am I not capable of love? Bm That kind of love G That I felt when I was twenty one DF#m 'Cause I'd be right if I said Bm You're not my biggest regret G Could I wish that I could take it back?
