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.
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!

[Verse 1] Cadd9GGsus2Em/D And honestly, I have been begging for answers Dsus4Cadd9 That you and only you can give to me GGsus2Em/D A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now Dsus4Cadd9 And as I start to run, I stop to breathe (And I was nearly scared to death) GGsus2 And I was nearly scared to death Em/D (Why you left in paragraphs) Dsus4 Why you left in paragraphs Cadd9 (The words were nearly over us) GGsus2 The words were nearly over us Em/DDsus4 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 Cadd9 sunsets and silhouette dreams Gsus2Em/D All my sand castles fall Gsus2G like the ashes of cigarettes Cadd9Gsus2 And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question Cadd9 "Is everyone here make-believe?" Gsus2Em/D With a tear in His voice Gsus2G He said, "Son, that's the question." Cadd9 Does this deafening silence Dsus4 mean nothing to no one but me?
[Verse 2] (Play the above interlude lead for the first half of the Verse 2) Cadd9 As hours move to minutes And minutes take longer to break I will be desperately awaiting But my tongue won't fall apart And we've been sitting here for hours All alone and in the dark Cadd9GGsus2 So let me think of to word it Em/DDsus4 Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? Cadd9GGsus2 If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere Em/D I'm sure everything would find me Dsus4 All that's left is just to sing
[Chorus 2] G And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's Em/D sunsets and silhouette dreams Cadd9 All my sand castles fall Gsus2 like the ashes of cigarettes Dsus4Em/DGsus2 And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question Em/D "Is everyone here make-believe?" Cadd9 With a tear in His voice He said, "Son, that's the question." Dsus4 Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?
