Biography:
Japandroids is a Canadian rock duo from Vancouver, British Columbia formed in 2006. The group consists of Brian King (guitar, vocals) and David Prowse (drums, vocals).
After self-releasing 2007's All Lies and 2008's Lullaby Death Jams EPs to little attention, the band was effectively broken up by the end of 2008. In January 2009, Japandroids signed to Unfamiliar Records for the release of their debut LP Post-Nothing, deciding to continue on temporarily.

[Verse 1]
Em
The future's under fire
Cadd9
The past is gaining ground
D
A continuous cold war between
G C
My home and my hometown
Em
I was destined to die dreaming
Cadd9
When one day, my best friend
D
With passion and pure provocation
G C
Summoned me and said
Em
"You can't condemn your love
Cadd9
To linger here and die
D
Can't leave your dreams to chance
G C
Or to a spirit in the sky
Em
May your heart always be ardent
Cadd9
Your conscience always clear
D
And succumb to the city and surrender, baby
G C
I'll be waiting here"
[Chorus 1]
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
Cadd9
And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
Em D
(Oh oh, oh oh)
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
Cadd9
And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
Em D
(Oh oh, oh oh)
Em D Cadd9
So I left my home
Em D Cadd9
And all I had
Em D Cadd9 G
I used to be good but now I'm bad
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
Em
It was last call at my local
Cadd9
And I stalled saying goodbye
D
So the girl behind the bar came over
G C
And she took me aside
Em
She kissed me like a chorus, said
Cadd9
“Give 'em hell for us
D
The last drink of the night, last night in town
G C
Baby, this one is on the house”
[Chorus 2]
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
Cadd9
And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
Em D
(Oh oh, oh oh)
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
Cadd9
And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
Em D
(Oh oh, oh oh)
Em D Cadd9
So I left my home
Em D Cadd9

[Verse 3]
Em
It was bedlam in my bed that night
Cadd9
And like a silent scream
D
My body broke out in a sweat
G C
From seeing you in dreams
Em
You called out to me
Cadd9
I sang back to you
D
And all I remember was the sound of it being
G
Like all hell breaking loose
[Chorus 3]
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
Cadd9
And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
Em D
(Oh oh, oh oh)
G D
And it got me all fired up to go far away
