Tegan y Sara Quin (nacidas en Calgary, Alberta, Canada el 19 de Septiembre de 1980) son gemelas y cantautoras canadienses. Inicialmente se llamaban PLUNK, pasando más tarde a ser «Sara and Tegan», nombre bajo el que ganaron la competición «Garage Warz» en su ciudad natal. Poco después, firmaron con el sello discográfico de Neil Young, Vapor Records, con el que lanzaron su primer disco «Under Feet Like Ours» (primero como «Sara and Tegan» y en siguientes ediciones como «Tegan and Sara», nombre definitivo del grupo).
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
A I married in the sun, (tell me where, tell me where) AED against the stone of buildings built before A you and I were born. (start again, start again) AED To my heart, confusion grows against. A The muscles fought so long (fought so long)
to control against AEAEAE the pull of one magnet to another magnet to another magnet.
A Now we look up in (tell me who, tell me who) AED to the eyes of bullies breaking backs. A They seem so very tough. (it's a lie; it's a lie) AED They seem so very scared of us. A I look into the mirror (look into) AED for evil that just does not exist. A I don't see what they see. (tell them that; tell them that)
AE Try to control the pull of one magnet AE to another magnet, AE to another magnet, AE to another magnet to another.
Verse 1: A I miss you now, E I guess like I should've missed you then. A My body moves, E like curtain waving in and out of wind; in and out of windows. A I can't untangle, E what I feel and what would matter most. A I can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid. E Now there's just no point reaching out for me.
Chorus: C#mC#m/G# In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief. C#mC#m/G# In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief. C#mC#m/G# And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me. E* F#m But I promise this: I won't go my whole life, C#m telling you I don't need. E* F#m But I promise this: I won't go my whole life, C#m telling you I don't need.
Verse 2: A I'll tell you now, E I guess like I should've told you then. A The thunder moves, E like damn drawers slamming in my frame, slamming in my framework. A I can't untangle, E what I know and what should matter most. A I can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid. E Now there's just no point reaching out for you.

DGDA I took the train back, back to where I came from. DGDA I took it all alone, it’s been so long, I know. DGDA Imagine me there: my heart asleep with no air. DGDA Begging, “Ocean, please, help me drown these memories.”
DA/C#G* All I need to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine.
DGDA I’m moving east, then, somewhere far away from DGDA the sight of my hands; the sight of me not moving. DGDA You can’t just hop a plane and come and visit me again. DGDA I claim it’s in my head and I regret offering.
DA/C#G* All I need to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine. DA/C#G* All I want to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine.
DA/C# You take a second, take a second; G* Take a year, take a year. A You took me out and took me in and told me all of this and DA/C# Then you take a moment, take a moment; G* Take a year, take a year. A You help me out, I listen in, you taught me all of this and
DA/C#G* All I want to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine. DA/C#G* All I want to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine. DA/C#G* All I need to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine. DA/C#G* All I want to hear is that you’re not mine; A You’re not mine.

TRACK THIRTEEN DARK COME SOON
NOTE:
When T&S play this song they actually use a Capo on the 5th fret. I don’t! It’s basically the same. I you do choose to use the Capo, know that Am=Em, F5=C, and C=G. And also, when they play they use three guitars, and I just use one, so it’s quite that it may not be complete. If you come up with any other kind of riff just use it! :)
Ok, my friends, ENJOY!!!!!
