From the sleepy sprawl of America's 'Mile-High City', Denver, Colorado, United States, comes The Fray, a foursome whose melodic piano rock songs and soaring vocals resonate with sprawling tapestries and tales of hopefulness and heartache. Formed in 2002 by Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King (guitar, vocals), The Fray earned a loyal grassroots following through impressive area gigs and the support of local radio, which led a listener-driven campaign to get the band a record contract.

Break: SAME AS VERSE CHORDS
Breathing comes in pairs Except for twice One begins and one's goodbye
Sixty years of sorrow he got 5 or 6 of bliss Left my mother’s mother without so much as a kiss
