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.

Intro: C, G, Am, F (x2)
Verse 1:
C
Well I smoked my throat out last night
G
Hoping you'd call or just stop by
Am
Now I'm wheezing like the Oakland sky
F
Feeling like the rusted tracks
C G
And forgotten dreams of the old train lines
Chorus:
F
It's a perpetual stone in my shoe
C G Am
One that I'll always be trying to shake loose
F C Am
An ache in my chest and a thorn in my side
F
More than a scratch beneath my skin
C G Am
Somewhere between the beginning and the end
F C
I don't feel a lot lately
F C
I don't feel whole lately
F C
I don't feel much lately
Am
But that's how I hide
G
That's how I hide
Interlude: C, G, Am, F
Verse 2:
C
You wrote it down not
To draw attention to yourself
G
You lit the pilot just to blow it out
Am
Here the conversation's always too loud
F C
And we're as pathetic as the jumper
G
Who listens to the crowd
Bridge:
F
To say I miss you wouldn't be enough
C G Am
I feel like Tom Waits singing "Diamonds and Rust"
F C G
And I'm as pathetic as a junkie who know what he does
Chorus:
F
It's a perpetual stone in my shoe
C G Am
One that I'll always be trying to shake loose
F C Am
An ache in my chest and a thorn in my pride
F
More than a scratch beneath my skin
C G Am
Somewhere between the beginning and the end
F C
I don't feel a lot lately
F C
I don't feel whole lately
F C
I don't feel much lately
Am
Now that's how I hide
G
That's how I hide
Outro: C, G, Am, F (x2)
