John-Allison Weiss (formerly Allison Weiss) is an American guitar player and singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, NY.
Weiss first picked up a guitar at age 14 in an attempt to become a punk rock star and impress their high school crush, and though the teenage romance died after one short month, their passion for music lived on.
After moving to Athens, GA in 2005, Weiss spent the next five years in and out of various pseudo-relationships which fueled the fire for one infectious breakup song after another.

Cadd9DGEm7 why bother, Cause I'd rather call it off than wait for it to work Cadd9DGEm7 and why bother, Cause I bet you're better off with some other hopeless jerk Cadd9DGEm7 and I like you, but what can I do Cadd9DG there's too much space to make you stay
