Biography:
Matthew Ryan (born November 7, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter hailing from Newark, Delaware whose music can be roughly characterized as alternative country. Ryan also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers."
Perhaps the most underrated singer/songwriter of the past 12 years, Matthew Ryan arrived on the music scene in 1997 with Mayday.

[Verse]
Em D
I can't go home
C G G/F#
But I can't stay here
Em D
Something just broke inside,
C
My dear
Em D
I'm caught in the branches
C G G/F#
Of an old dead tree
Em D
I'm in a boat in the desert
C
Far from the sea
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Em D
Don't put your heart
C G G/F#
In the hands of imbeciles
Em D
You could end up worse
C
Than dead or killed
Em D
Yeah it's bittersweet
C G G/F#
The smiles we knew
Em D
Now we’re both creeping around
C
Like Nosferatu

Put the chairs on the tables

And turn down the lights
Em D
Let's play our song

And sit as quiet as mice
Em D
You see people are cars
C G G/F#
And they recall every wreck
Em D
And they’ll even the score
C
On that you can bet
[Chorus]
