Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

Intro: E, C#m, E, A
Verse 1:
E
Well I sat and thought about you
A
On the long ride back to Philly
C#m
From the way that you'd wear your hair
A
To the way that you'd laugh when you drank too much
B
Before the plug was pulled, the fires burned out
C#m A
And all the parties grew bored
B
You waited tables
A
I waited for your shift breaks
Repeat Intro
Verse 2:
E
And gin and Casey
A
You'll still dance inside of me
C#m A
And I bet I sound like a broken record
B
Every time I open my mouth
C#m A
I want to wander around the city with you again
B
Like when you waited tables
A
And I waited for your shift breaks
Chorus:
E
Me and Casey
C#m A E
We used to get drunk before we did the dishes
A
Every evening
E C#m A E
Me and Casey used to get high and listen to our boredom
A
Cause it was so much easier
C#m E A
Cause it was so much easier than dealing with everything
B B B
So Casey, Casey, Casey
Bridge:
G#m
Just tell me when you're ready
C#m A
I'm all packed to go
B C#m A
On a search for that old place we found forever ago
G#m
When we could take my car
C#m A
Yes, she's still got the spirit
B
We could live,
B
We could live,
B
We could live,
E
and no longer just have to hear it
