Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band formed in 1992 in Gainesville, USA. Their current line-up consists of Chris DeMakes (vocals, guitar), Roger Lima (vocals, bass), Matt Yonker (drums), Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone).
The band's name derives from a bird Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

##############################Please Note################################## This is my own interpretation of the song
GEmAmC I have this feeling inside, that I wouldn't like me, if I met me. GEmAm It seems like a losing fight, if you could see through my eyes, C Then you'd believe me...
Pre-chorus: GFEmC The truth is that I'm over-rated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic. GFC The truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me.
Chorus: GEmAm You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say, CG you just tell me my heart's in the right place. EmAm It's the world that's confused, and it's never too late... CGG to save a hopeless case...
Verse 2: GEmAmC I've always known a ghost like me, can disappear in... a moment... GEmAmC I'm my own worst casualty, anything I touch can... be broken...
Pre-chorus: GFEmC The truth is that I'm self-destructive, I'm insecure, I'm out of focus GFC The truth is that I've had enough , but you still help me,
Chorus: GEmAm You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say, CG You just tell me my heart's in the right place.(you hear the words that I say) Em It's the world that's confused, (you hear the words that I say) AmCGG -F And it's never to late... to save a hopeless case...
Bridge: FGFCGF Your giving me perspective, (woah), It's better than mine, (woah) CCCCCG and I'll still be defective, and you're wasting your time...
Pre-chorus:
GFEmC The truth is that I'm self-destructive, I'm insecure, I'm out of focus GFC The truth is that I've had enough, but you still help me,
Chorus: GEmAm You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say, CG You just tell me my heart's in the right place, (you hear the words that I say) Em It's the world that's confused, (you hear the words that I say) AmCG And it's never too late... to save a hopeless case, (you hear the words that I say) Em And my head is on straight, (you hear the words that I say) AmCG And it's never too late... to save a hopeless case...
