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.

[Verse 1]
G D
I fell asleep last Saturday
Em
Underneath polluted skies
C G
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
D
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
Em
The emptiness starts to drown
C G
The quiet corners of this town, and I...
D Em
Late last night, I made my plans
C G
It was the only thing I felt I could do
D Em
Said goodbye, to my best friend
C
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth
[Chorus]
G D Em
It's gonna kill me the rest of my life
C G
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
D Em
I know it's time to face, all of my past mistakes
C G
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life
[Verse 2]
G D
This is my all time low
Em
Somehow it feels so familiar
C G
Somehow it seems so familiar
D
I feel like letting go
Em
And every second that goes by
C G
I'm screaming out for a second try
D Em
Said goodbye, to my best friend
C
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth
[Chorus]
G D Em
It's gonna kill me the rest of my life
C G
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
D Em
I know it's time to face, all of my past mistakes
C Em
I've got to live with them the rest of my life
[Verse 3]
F Em
This is the mess I've made
F
These are the words I can't erase
Em D
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
F
And it twists like a blade
C
And kills me for the rest of my life
