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.

Matthew Ryan : It could have been worse
from the album Matthew Ryan Vs Sliver State (2008)
into G
Where you come from
Em
You learn to disappear
D
To cover up your fear
C
With punk rock and stuff
G
When you were a kid
Em
You listened to The Clash
D
You learned to never ask
C
Where your daddy was
Em C D
Once more around the old main drag
Em C D
They never said it but they thought you were a fag
Em C D
Some people push till a kid goes boom
Em C D
Late at night it got dark in your room
G
Ah your love in a car
Em
You promised her everything
D
Not knowing what everything
C
Really was
G
She's the first girl you kissed
Em
She's the first girl you miss
D
When you're feeling like this
C
Broke and in the dark
Em C D
Her blonde hair was a setting sun (sun) Oh
Em C D
Her mascara was born to run (run) Oh
Em C D
You got scared when she started to show (show) oH
Em C D
One more thing you'd have to let go
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
D
It could've been worse
C
It could've been worse
Em C D Em C D
G
So you stood on that bridge
Em
Overlooking old crappy town
D
Snow was falling slowly all around
C
You smoked a quick cigarette
G
But I'll never believe
Em
That you jumped and just ended there
D
The note you left read, "Look everywhere"
C
"You'll never bury me"
Em C D
A stereo and a pile of cassettes (cassettes) Oh
Em C D
That dirty mirror where you used to get dressed (Dressed) Oh
Em C D
There you stood getting tight with your scars Oh Oh
Em C D
Some broken chords on cheap guitar
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
D
It could've been worse
C
It could've been worse
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
