Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

D F#m Bm F#m A
[Verse]
D
I left my mother feelin' sick in her bedroom
F#m
My daddy told me, "Son, you best grow up"
Bm
I told my friends they can find me on the internet
F#m A
'Cause somehow this place just ain't enough

Collect call from a brother in the lockup
F#m
He said he paid his dues, but could I pay them too?

My best friend is stealing money from my pocket

I guess it's time to go, and they said
[Pre-Chorus: Zac Barnett]

"Who, who are you? Who are you really heading for?"
Bm F#m A
I said, "Who, who am I? I don't know what I'm heading for"

D
I threw my troubles and my bags in the backseat
F#m
Pulled up a drive for one last look

She was standin' in the doorway lonely
F#m A
After leanin' in close and she said
[Pre-Chorus: Bear Rinehart]

Came back last night just to see you
Bm
It's been too long but nothing's changed
F#m
I'm trying to be the one that you can't be
A D
Maybe these dreams, they all to blame
I can hear it in your voice that you do know

It's not a choice for me to stay

So long, goodbye to the neighbourhood
A
To my neighbourhood
