Biography:
Dear Landlord are a punk rock band from Carbondale, Illinois. Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds the Copyrights- Adam (bass/vocals) and Brett (guitar/vocals), and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers Rivethead- Brad (drums/lyrics) and Zack (guitar/vocals) they carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds.

[Intro]
B E
[Verse 1]
B E
Not tonight, don't make that awful sound
It's dragging me farther down
B E
Taking out all the fight, holding me to the ground
B
Making my enemies proud, and what gives you the right?
[Chorus]
B E G#
We're not that hopeless, we're not as fucked as you think
F#
In short lived moments we can do anything
B E G#
The fucking joke is we're winning when you blink
F# B
In short lived moments lousy with victory
[Interlude]
B E
[Verse 2]
B E
We're both sort of right, I don't have much to show
I'll die penniless, alone
B E
I'll do what I like and you'll do what you know
F#
Never hungry, broke or cold, it's the weight of things I suppose
[Bridge]
B F# G# D# E
It's really just the passing of these days that's gonna leave us all set in our ways
B F#
We don't have to take that lying down
B F# G# D# E
And I'd be lying if I didn't say that it's been getting harder to relate
B F#
And keep myself from drowning in the crowd
[Chorus]
B
And I still believe that we're not that hopeless, we're not as fucked as you think
N.C.
In short lived moments we can do anything
B E G#
The fucking joke is we're winning when you blink
F#
In short lived moments lousy with victory
B E G#
We're not that hopeless, we're not as fucked as you think
F#
In short lived moments we can do anything
B E G#
The fucking joke is we're winning when you blink
F# B
In short lived moments lousy with victory
[Outro]

F# B
Lousy with victory
