Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.

D Looking at the cop in the rear view mirror F# Probably should have stopped but the crosswalk was clear BmAG I'll just imagine it's a ticket to a Broadway show
D Looking at the clouds and they seem kinda funny F# Probably gonna rain but my outlook is sunny BmAG I'll just imagine that I'm laying out in Mexico
GAF# Cause I know that pleasures gotta come with pain BmAG And I know that things won't always go my way GGm And I know that life is gonna suck some days
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG Every day is too short to let it go to waste
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG You gotta treat every day like a holiday
G And I'm telling you GAF# That I know some days I'm gonna stumble F#BmAG And I know the cookie's gonna crumble GGm And I know that life is gonna suck some days But I can't complain (start playing D)
D Waiting on a never ending train at the crossing F# Paying it no mind cause you just keep talking BmAG We'll just imagine it's the good old days and take it slow
D Spending Christmas Eve on the floor of the airport F# Dying to get back to the people that I care for BmAG Smiling just dreaming about my puppy in my bed back home
GAF# Cause I know that pleasures gotta come with pain BmAG And I know that things won't always go my way GGm And I know that life is gonna suck some days
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG Every day is too short to let it go to waste
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG You gotta treat every day like a holiday
GAF# Cause I know that pleasures gotta come with pain BmAG And I know that things won't always go my way GGm And I know that life is gonna suck some days
D If you can't say nothing good Don't say nothing F# If you stop to think you could come up with something BmAG That makes you feel so good when times are rough it's ok
D I can't complain F# Oh oh oh oh oh Bm Oh oh oh oh oh AG Don't let it go to waste
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG Every day is too short to let it go to waste
D But I can't complain F# I can't complain BmAG You gotta treat every day like a holiday
G And I'm telling you GAF# That I know some days I'm gonna stumble F#BmAG And I know the cookie's gonna crumble GGm And I know that life is gonna suck some days But I can't complain
