Biography:
The New Amsterdams began as a solo project in Lawrence, Kansas to then-lead singer for The Get Up Kids Matt Pryor. In 2000, he released his debut album Never You Mind, which was comprised largely of acoustic tracks with sparse accompaniment. However, the album also featured Alex Brahl and Rob Pope providing extra instrument tracks.
Two years later in January 2002, Pryor released Para Toda Vida, this time sticking almost purely to acoustic guitar, with the exception of a few tracks utilizing harmonica and banjo as well.

Intro: E
Verse:
Em Ab
These are models of my own design
A Em
Two circles never meeting
Ab
One in 92 and 95
A Em
And it's all been up to me
Em Ab
May not listen to my own advice
A Em
It can be so overwhelming
Em Ab
There are strains on every double life
A Em
But you won't hear me complain
Chorus:
Em A
Yes it's true
B
You knew
Em
You believed it
A
You should just turn
B Em
And walk away
Verse:
Took a compliment and photograph
Committed it to memory
Model of how not to act
At least not imitate
Wouldn't it have been ideal
If it all fell down from heaven
How am I supposed to feel
When I know what you did wrong
Chorus:
Yes it's true
You knew
You believed it
You should just turn
And walk away
Yes it's true
You knew
I was leaving
We're under the same sky line today
End on: E
