Biography:
DeVotchKa is an American band that melds a collection of influences into a blend of rock 'n' roll.
The band's fifth album shows influences of the Arizona desert with producer Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case) to create a compendium of short stories inspired by the varied moments the band experienced since the release of A Mad & Faithful Telling (Anti-, 2007).
Like many bands, DeVotchKa spent much of their early years traveling the highways and byways searching for gigs and a musical direction.

[Intro]
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
E
I can draw a straight line
E7sus4
Through my mind
A
Right back to the good times
E7sus4 E E7sus4
Back when all the stars were aligned
A E7sus4
Before all the paperwork got signed
[Link]
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
E
Oh it's like a straight shot
E7sus4 A
Through the backyards and the vacant lots
E7sus4 E
Through the varied chambers of my heart
E7sus4 A E7sus4
To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot
[Link]
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Aah, aaah, aah, aah
[Verse]
E
And now it's just a short ride
E7sus4 A
Over to the Eastside
E7sus4 E E7sus4
Is where my true love still resides
A E7sus4
Where all of my dreams go to die
[Chorus]
Esus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
E E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time
A E7sus4
It takes time, time, time

E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
{Verse]
E
Ours was the tale that never would end
E7sus4 A
Doors were gonna open and rules were gonna bend
E7sus4 E E7sus4
Now it doesn't matter who they send
A E7sus4 E
Can't hold a candle to you my fairweather best friend
[Link]
E7sus4 A E7sus4
[Verse]
E
Now I'm stuck in the slow lane
E7sus4 A
On the useless side of my brain
E7sus4 E
The one that drives a thinking man insane
E7sus4 A E7sus4
Wishing his circumstances never have to change
[Bridge]
Esus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
E E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time
A E7sus4
It takes time, time, time
[Link]
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
E E7sus4 A E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
E
Now I lap single file
E7sus4 A
Walker center mental mile
E7sus4 E
Over blue mosaic tiles
E7sus4 A E7sus4
Our souls did comingle for a little while
[Chorus]
Esus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
E E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time

That's why I draw a straight line
E7sus4
Through my mind
A
Right back to the good times
E7sus4 E E7sus4
Back when all the stars were aligned
A E7sus4
Before all the paperwork got signed
E
And I make that quick line
E7sus4 A
Over to the Eastside
E7sus4 E E7sus4
Where my true love still resides
A E7sus4
Where all of my dreams go to die
