Matt Mays (born August 10, 1979, in Hamilton, Ontario, and raised in Nova Scotia) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and was the lead singer of Matt Mays & El Torpedo, a rock music group based in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia and New York City. Previously, Mays was a member of a Canadian indie band The Guthries.
After departing The Guthries to embark on a solo career, Mays released his self-titled debut which maintained the rootsy, laid-back feel of his earlier work but also had a decidedly more rock vibe.
¡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!
This is a new song by Matt Mays. I tabbed it from watching the video of it on his site (the only recording of this song thus far). I'm 99% sure on the chords, but the lyrics are iffy in places, and the song will likely change before it is released on the next record. If you have any questions, or suggestions, email [email protected].

VERSE: GEmBm E9sus4 I'm searching for something that won't change GEmBm E9sus4 As pure as the midnight snow on the Jasper ranges
CHORUS: GEmBm E9sus4 Into the everlasting night, GEmBm E9sus4 I'll chase the light
VERSE: Got to keep on moving, gotta take the chance Cause I'm losing my rhythm with every step of the dance
CHORUS
VERSE: Further and further, until there's strange land I can't let my shadow determine where I'll stand
CHORUS
BRIDGE: EmCGD And when it shines, it's gonna shine (shine) like a million suns EmCGD Rise and ignite the fire, glow, coming sweet as golden goods EmCGD As thick as thieves, we shall receive, burning bright sent from the king EmCG Shine your light and save my soul
VERSE: I wish I was with you, holding you tight Cause my angels get sullied by the demons of the night
