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.

key of G
chords:D Am G B C Em Bm
INTRO:G B C Em C
G
I poured a drink
B C Em D
And sat to watch the blue burn back to stars
G B
And every thought was that blown up film
C Em D
Of when you crashed our getaway car
Am G C
Now all this talk
G
Don't add up to much
D
When you were counting on those friends
G Am
That let you down again
G C
These prayers and songs
G
Get dark and long
C G D
Well If he cared then he just might
G
But god's not here tonight
G Bm C Em D
G B
You've got some nerve to talk like this
C Em D
Once you've turned to act like that
G B
I lost some teeth while defending you
C Em D
And you folded like a rat
Am G C
Now all this talk
G
Don't add up to much
D
When you were counting on those friends
G Am
That let you down again
G C
These prayers and songs
G
Get dark and long
D
Well If he cared then he just might
G
But god's not here tonight...
G B Bm
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
C Em D
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
G B Bm
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
C Em D
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
G B
This world gets hard on hearts that want
C Em D
And hope for more than this
G B
But like that sun that just disappeared
C Em D
So will this ghost on my lips
Am G C
Yeah all this talk
G
Don't add up to much
D
When you were counting on those friends
G Am
That let you down again
G C
These prayers and songs
A
Get dark and long
D
Well If he cared then he just might
G
But god's not here tonight...
G B Bm
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
C Em D
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
G B Bm
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
C Em D
I don't care what you wanted, I don't care if you're scared ( God's not here tonight)
