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: Em, C, G, C (x2)
Verse 1:
Em C
When you were tired and so unsure
G C
Of all the things you wanted for
Em C
When your head was like a ditch
G C
Full of junk and regret
Chorus:
Em G C D
I used to think
Em G C D
That nothing lasts
Em G C D
But I was wrong,
Em G C D
'Cause some things last
Em G C D
Like the ache of watching you
D C Em
Of letting you sink to sunk
Interlude: C, G, C
Verse 2:
Em C
When the past has crawled so high
G C
That you've forgotten how you would try
Em C
To be the taste on my tongue
G C
Long after you had gone
Chorus:
Em G C D
I used to think
Em G C D
That nothing lasts
Em G C D
But I was wrong,
Em G C D
'Cause some things last
Em G C D
Like the ache of watching you
D C Em
Of letting you sink to sunk
Interlude: C, G, C
Outro:
Em G C D
An iron swing
Em G C D
An empty cage
Em G C D
An orange sky
Em G C D
the room's in flames
G C
I'll leave my words where you can see
D C
Should you decide you need me
Should you decide
Em
You need me
