Biography:
Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band formed in 1992 in Gainesville, USA. Their current line-up consists of Chris DeMakes (vocals, guitar), Roger Lima (vocals, bass), Matt Yonker (drums), Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone).
The band's name derives from a bird Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.

This is my own interpretation of the song
G Em Am C
I have this feeling inside, that I wouldn't like me, if I met me.
G Em Am
It seems like a losing fight, if you could see through my eyes,
C
Then you'd believe me...
Pre-chorus:
G F Em C
The truth is that I'm over-rated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic.
G F C
The truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me.
Chorus:
G Em Am
You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say,
C G
you just tell me my heart's in the right place.
Em Am
It's the world that's confused, and it's never too late...
C G G
to save a hopeless case...
Verse 2:
G Em Am C
I've always known a ghost like me, can disappear in... a moment...
G Em Am C
I'm my own worst casualty, anything I touch can... be broken...
Pre-chorus:
G F Em C
The truth is that I'm self-destructive, I'm insecure, I'm out of focus
G F C
The truth is that I've had enough , but you still help me,
Chorus:
G Em Am
You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say,
C G
You just tell me my heart's in the right place.(you hear the words that I say)
Em
It's the world that's confused, (you hear the words that I say)
Am C G G -F
And it's never to late... to save a hopeless case...
Bridge:
F G F C G F
Your giving me perspective, (woah), It's better than mine, (woah)
C C C C C G
and I'll still be defective, and you're wasting your time...
Pre-chorus:
G F Em C
The truth is that I'm self-destructive, I'm insecure, I'm out of focus
G F C
The truth is that I've had enough, but you still help me,
Chorus:
G Em Am
You, you don't see me that way, you hear the words that I say,
C G
You just tell me my heart's in the right place, (you hear the words that I say)
Em
It's the world that's confused, (you hear the words that I say)
Am C G
And it's never too late... to save a hopeless case, (you hear the words that I say)
Em
And my head is on straight, (you hear the words that I say)
Am C G
And it's never too late... to save a hopeless case...
