_ [E] _ [Em] The most important thing is just to be authentic, [A] _ [E] _
_ not to worry about what people want or what
people [Bm] want to hear.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [E] If you just really write the music that you really feel, [Em] then people respond to that.
_ I'm _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [Em] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ the front man, I [Em] write the songs, [C] I sing and play guitar, but there's a big part [Em] of
Chris Lynch's personality and his feelings that come through in [Bm] the music.
Jeff and Matt, [E] each one of them as people and how they feel music, it really comes through
in the music.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ [Bm] We got invited to [Em] go on tour [G] with another band in England over [Bm] the summer a couple years
ago [B] and that was sort of this moment of, [Em] if we go on [Bm] this trip, it's two months long and
none of us will have jobs when we get back. _ _ _
_ _ [E] For a lot of people, if they have kids or they have a mortgage, they can't just pack
up and [A] tour.
You [E] can't make enough money to support that kind of life.
_ [Gm] _ [E] _
So we either [Em] have to quit our jobs and figure it out and go or [Bm] say no and keep things as they are.
_ _ _ We [Em] all made the decision that we needed to go and just [G] take a leap of faith and see what
[Em] happened and I don't think any of us regret that. _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ [Bm] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _
I could tell that, _ I could tell that it was [Em] time for a change.
_ _ _ [B] [E] Thought I was [F#] afraid [G] I might die if _ I [Am] stepped [Em] into the cocoon.
_ [B] _ _ More afraid that [G] I wouldn't try.
_ _ _ _ [A] People [E] compare it to the womb.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] You do [G] it all yourself, _ _ _ _ [Am] sometimes [Em] for somebody else.
_ _ _ [F#] And you [Em] step in, [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ and you [G] step in. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I think the future can just be [Cm] a terrifying [Em] thing in general to think about, [G] but also exciting.
Things just happen in the most [Em] unpredictable way.
[Bm] _ _ _
_ _ I think of us as a very small band [Am] with a small but tight following.
People ask me a lot if I'm happy and I absolutely am.
[G] Step in, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] let it show. _ _ _ _ _
_ Let [Am] your faith, _ [A] _ let it melt.
_ _ [G] Hoses around me. _
[B] As long as I authentically feel and care about the music that I'm [A] making, people [Am] care about
it when they hear it.
It will continue [E] to be worth it so long as it [F#] matters to other [G] people and it matters to me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _

Thank you.
Bye.
