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.

Start the car, start the car
D
Can't see the stars, can't see the stars
A
I'm sick & tired of feeling alone
D
Turn on the heat put down the phone
E D
Maybe I'll just disappear
A
There's nothing left to keep me here
[Verse]
A
I watched her turn and grab her things
D
I sat and prayed for the phone to ring
A
I played a song like there was nothing else
D
I found a girl and I pretended
E
She was someone else
D
Yeah I know
A
It wasn't fair
[Verse]
A
It's just so strange how we get stuck
D
What once meant nothing now means so much
A
I saw your name yesterday
D
On some unopened mail I threw away
E D
I stood right there and picked it up
A
Yeah things have been pretty rough
[Interlude]
F#m D A E (x2)
A D (x2)
[Verse]
A
Nothing but the lights on the dash
D
Every little bit hurts when you're in the pass
A
The drawl of leaves and that quiet cold
D
That settles in once you know
E D
We're all hotels there ain't no home
A
And everything we had was just a loan
[Verse]
A
Start the car, start the car
D
Can't see the stars, can't see the stars
A
I miss the simplest of scenes
D
You in the dark just over me
E
Your hair a mess
D
Your eyes aglow
A
The engine hums it starts to snow
[Outro]
