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 1]
D
An anthem for the ones who hurt
Bm
Who broke their fists on dreams and dirt
G
Who climbed the hills and found the sea
Bm A
Who saw the tops of home and tree
D
Who never left their hearts in scars
Bm
Who caught the fire in the stars
G
Who held their kids when they were scared
Bm A D A Bm G A
Who found a way from here to there
[Verse 2]
D
An anthem for the real reward
Bm
The sometimes broke and bent before
G
Where hope is lost and winter birds
Bm A
Float from the wires when shots are heard
D
An anthem for my mother's arms
Bm
The bravest walk, the big alarm
G
The boxers, cops and soldiers too
Bm A
The ones who need no gratitude
D A Bm G A
.....We won't quit
[Verse 3]
D
An anthem for the brotherhood
Bm
The light in the dark and the lean for good
G
The knowing not which way to go
Bm A
But here but for the grace of the unknown I know
D
A dollar's not a peace nor end
Bm
I'd do it all and all again
G
An anthem for the broken hearts
Bm A D
That made it worlds from where they'd start
[Outro]
D A G A
.........We won't quit!
D A G A
.........We won't quit!
D A G A
.........We won't quit!
D A G A D
.........We won't quit!
