Augustana is an alternative rock (or piano rock) band that originally met and formed at Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States. The original band members included Dan Layus, Josiah Rosen, Simeon Lohrmann, and Kyle Baker. The band recorded Midwest Skies and Sleepless Mondays on campus in early 2003. After locally releasing their Mayfield EP, the band parted ways with drummer Kyle Baker and bass player Simeon Lohrmann; and added Josh Calhoun (drums) and Jared Palomar (originally keys, moved to bass guitar) to the lineup.

GFmaj7-F* G Now I'm sitting on a plane Fmaj7-F* G Lonely flight back to L.A. Fmaj7-F* G Don't come back with me GFmaj7-F* G So I'll drink myself to sleep Fmaj7-F* G Cut my skin until I bleed Fmaj7-F* GFmaj7-F* Hold my breath all the night
Fmaj7 Cause it's 5 o'clock G* AmG* The hour stops the sunlight Fmaj7G* AmG* And the buildings shade the masquerade and kill time
G, Fmaj7-F*, GFmaj7-F*
Hear the sound She was naked on the ground Till I whispered in her ear Come away, watch the dawn break through the day Till the sun is underneath
Fmaj7 Cause it's 5 o'clock G* AmG* The hour stops the sunlight Fmaj7G* AmG* And the buildings shade the masquerade and kill time Fmaj7G* AmG* Here we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs Fmaj7G* Through the summer sand, we're living in AmG* (REPEAT Fmaj7, G*, Am, G*) We're living in a wasteland
G It's a wasteland E2 It's a wasteland AmFmaj7 It's a wasteland for me
Fmaj7G* AmG* And we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs Fmaj7G* Through the summer sand, we're living in AmG* We're living in a wasteland
(REPEAT Fmaj7, G*, Am, G*)
Here we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs Through the summer sand, we're living in We're living in a wasteland
G It's a wasteland E2 It's a wasteland AmFmaj7 It's a wasteland for me G For me..
