Mayday Parade was born in 2005 when two popular Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment, decided to merge and form one group. Both bands had been friends for a long time but they each seemed to have different kind of holdups. They pooled their resources, booted out the undedicated members and decided to take the good from each band and move forward. Armed with a dynamic lead singer Derek Sanders of Defining Moment, Mayday Parade explodes with energy and personality.

CGD/F#Em And honestly, I have been begging for answers DC That you and only you can give to me GD/F#Em A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now DC And as I start to run, I stop to breathe (And I was nearly scared to death) GD/F# And I was nearly scared to death Em (Why you left in paragraphs) D Why you left in paragraphs C (The words were nearly over us) GD/F# The words were nearly over us EmD You stop and turn and grab your bags
[Chorus 1]
G And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's C sunsets and silhouette dreams D/F#Em All my sand castles fall D/F#G like the ashes of cigarettes CD/F# And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question C "Is everyone here make-believe?" D/F#Em With a tear in His voice D/F#G He said, "Son, that's the question." C Does this deafening silence D mean nothing to no one but me?

CGD/F# If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere Em I'm sure everything would find me D All that's left is just to sing
