Biography:
With roots firmly planted in the fertile musical soil of Texas, the Eli Young Band is a little bit country and a helluva lot of guitar-driven rock and roll. Their Carnival Recording Company debut, Level, finds them poised to bust out of the Lone Star State and bring their brand of music to a wider audience as they make inroads into neighboring states and the wider Nashville country scene.
The band was formed almost five years ago by Mike Eli who grew up just outside of Houston and James Young who hails from Irving, TX.

Intro: C
Verse 1:
C G Am
No you never were one for resting easy were ya
F C G
So much that when they told me how you left us here behind
C G Am
That I didn’t even bat an eye believing
F C G
In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find
F G C G F
In just hoped that road would one day watch you walk right back to me
G
‘till then I’ll be
F G C
Jet black and jealous
Verse 2:
And I’ll dare not let ‘em know that now you’re gone
How I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be
I just keep laughin’ out loud and play along
As if I traded you for one the way you traded me
‘Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes
You walked right out the door
And I hit the floor
Jet black and jealous
Chorus:
C C/B Am G F C G
Tell me how was I to know
C C/B Am G F C G
Tell me how can I let go
F G
Well I know wherever you are tonight
C G F
You look just like a queen
G
Stealing the scene
F C
Jet black and jealous
C C/B Am G F C G (x2)
Verse 3:
And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburgh
Watching the rain in passing headlights
From some roadside corner booth
Still smiling ‘bout the choices that you made
Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead
Skies blue instead of grey
But if you get out there and you find
That it’s not what you thought it’d be, remember me
Jet black and jealous
Repeat chorus
F G
Yeah if you get out there and you find
C G F G
That it’s not what you thought it’d be, come back to me
C C/B Am G F C G
Tell me how
Tell me how was I to know
Tell me how was I to know
End: Fade out (I end on a C)
