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.

[Intro]
E B F#m A
[Verse]
E
It took a week full of Mondays
B
And every Monday it rained
F#m
I fought the law and the dull
A
And got nothing but pain
E
I got twisted up and low
B
A little insane
F#m
I watched everything I love
A
Circle the drain
[Chorus]
F#m B
Close your eyes
E A A/G#
Then you'll see
F#m B
It was all
A
Just a dream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A
[Verse]
E
I bought a car in Wilmington
B
I said goodbye to my friends
F#m
I said "things will be different,
A
When I see you again"
E
Well we hugged and talked,
B
The smallest talk
F#m
It started raining in the rear-view
A
as they shuffled off
[Chorus]
F#m B
Close your eyes
E A A/G#
Then you'll see
F#m B
It was all
A
Just a dream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A
[Verse]
E
Now there's a lot of bodies
B
By the side of the road
F#m
Careful who's driving
A
You don't wanna be a ghost
E
Now it won't always be easy
B
But it won't always be hard
F#m
Just listen to the cracks
A
In your broken heart
[Chorus]
F#m B
Close your eyes
E A A/G#
Then you'll see
F#m B
It was all
A
Just a dream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A
[Outro]
E
Home is where the hurt is
B
So I’m writing this down
C#m
Don’t think I didn’t love you
A
I just didn’t wanna drown
