Biography:
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:
A E/G# F#m
If I died tomorrow would this song live on forever?
D A E/G#
Here is my… unopened letter to a world
F#m D
that never shall reply, never shall reply
Chorus 1:
Bm D
From this second story window I can hear the church bells
A E/G# F#m
calling out my name. This table is set for one
Bm D Dm(hold)
Even angels would be homesick in this forsaken town
Verse 2:

On random notes of parchment I'm scrawling my existence
D A E/G#
Dressed in white, This candle radiates throughout the night
F#m D
And it's never burning out, Never burning out

Bm D
From this second story window I can hear the children
A E/G# F#m
down on Main Street They're singing their songs tonight
Bm D
In the shadows, I will listen to their every movement
Bridge:
F#m A D
Mr. Higginson, Am I not good enough for the world?
F#m A D
Am I destined only to die the same way that I lived...
in seclusion
Chorus 3:
Bm D
From high up on this mountain I can almost see
A E/G# F#m
your lonely windowsill, They'll carry you off tonight
Bm
There's a ghost in your old bedroom
D Dm(hold)
And a candle burning bright
Outro:
A E/G# F#m(hold)
If I died tomorrow Would this song live on forever?
