Biography:
Matthew Ryan (born November 7, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter hailing from Newark, Delaware whose music can be roughly characterized as alternative country. Ryan also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers."
Perhaps the most underrated singer/songwriter of the past 12 years, Matthew Ryan arrived on the music scene in 1997 with Mayday.

[Verse]
Em C
A big red sun
G D
Down by the riverside
Em C
Just off the tracks
G D
Where Ben McCullen died
Em
I found a gun...
Em C
So there it was
G D
Still gifted with two rounds
Em C
I never told no one
G D
At least well not 'til now
Em
Not 'til now…
[Chorus]
G D Em7
It ain't no crime
Cadd9 G
When you been pushed past the line
D
We come and go without warning
Em7
But we could be in the land of light
Cadd9 Em
and joy come morning
[Verse]
Em C
I had a job
G D
I had a girl
Em C
But it's more than mean
G D
It's a cruel and wicked world
Em
It's a cruel and wicked world
C
So I did what I did
G D
And just like the whippoorwill
Em C
There's only one thing you can bring
G D
Up here to Heaven's Hill
Em
Up here to Heaven's Hill...
[Chorus]
G D Em7
No, It ain't no crime
Cadd9 G
When you been pushed past the line

We come and go without warning
Em7 D
But we could be in the land of light
Cadd9 G
and joy come morning
D Em7
Oh Peter please understand
Cadd9 G
There's more to this blood on my hands
D
These orphans break or get broke
Em7 D
And it got so dark I couldn't see
Cadd9 G
any other way home
