Portugal.The Man surge en el 2002 en la ciudad estadounidense de Wasilla, Alaska y con sede en Portland, Oregon. La banda está compuesta por antiguos miembros de la banda Anatomy of a Ghost. Musicalmente, su estilo tiene sus raíces de los sonidos indie, pero sus canciones también contienen elementos de soul, blues, progresivo, y la música popular. A veces, el grupo emplea cajas de ritmos y samples en la estructuración de sus canciones, mientras que en otras ocasiones, utiliza los sonidos más convencionales de la música rock.
¡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!
[Verse 1] Em So young, just begun D Don't need to live to know A What I've become Em When ya wake up
Still in your make-up D You'll make it home just A Fine without breaking down
[Interlude] N.C. Man that's so young
That's so young
[Verse 2] Em Stay calm, we'll all just get along DA Sit around, pretending like nothing's wrong Em So long, love letter DB7C But you and I are gonna live forever
[Chorus] CB7 I don't need to make amends AmEm But I'm done going undercover G I just want to find a friend B7C I don't need another lover B7 One day the world may end AmEm But there's still plenty to discover G Till then I'll just pretend B7Em I don't need another lover
[Verse 3] Em So young, loaded gun DA Oblivious to what the trigger does Em Will ya wake up
Never gonna make up DA Got ammunition on a mission Em We're gonna shoot you down
[Interlude] N.C. Man that's so young
That's so young
[Verse 4] Em Knocked out with the Midas touch DA A champion wearing golden gloves Em Got you punch drunk, seeing stars DB7C Little birdies singing "why'd ya fall so hard?"
[Chorus] CB7 I don't need to make amends AmEm But I'm done going undercover G I just want to find a friend B7C I don't need another lover B7 One day the world may end AmEm But there's still plenty to discover G Till then I'll just pretend B7Am I don't need another lover
[Bridge] Am My light burning bright Bm Everlong till the thrill is gone Am Love's my battle cry Bm It's never wrong
How I stay so strong Am I'll fight all my life BmAm I'm all like I can't go on Bm When I can't go on B7 We're gonna live forever CB7AmEmGB7 We're gonna live forever
[Chorus] CB7 I don't need to make amends AmEm But I'm done going undercover G I just want to find a friend B7C I don't need another lover B7 Today the world will end AmEm You never know we may recover G No time left to pretend B7C I don't need another lover
[Outro] CB7 Oooh... it's troubling Am When the belly of the beast starts rumbling EmG Oooh... it's getting too hot B7 Like the summer in the city that we're living in CB7 Oooh... it's troubling Am When the belly of the beast starts rumbling EmG Oooh... it's getting too hot B7 Like the summer in the city that we're living in
