Semisonic se formo en Minneapolis en 1995. Los integrantes Dan Wilson, John Munson y Jacob Slichter, venían de otras bandas pero en ese año se unieron y firmaron con el sello Elektra, con la mala suerte de que a mitad de la producción de su primer álbum la discografica despidió al equipo de producción y el álbum solo alcanzó para lanzar un EP titulado Pleasure que no fue lo que el grupo esperaba. Su segundo trabajo, Great Divide, se grabó ya con la discografica MCA en el 96, tampoco este trabajo tuvo mayor éxito.
¡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!

i am not a piano player, and this song was written by a very skilled (and crafty) one. chord names might not be proper (a/f or F/a) but i use the key above to notate what goes where.
to get the sound of a piano, bass, and guitar out, i had to do some funky chords, as the split the parts accordingly. please, if your hand begins to hurt(as mine did), something else to alleviate your (and previously my)cramping hand. my hand eventually used to these chords, and it didnt' hurt to play.
it might not exactly be correct to the album, but it's close enough for fun.
