This Is The Countdown

Biography:

Mae is an American rock band that formed in Norfolk Virginia in 2001. The band's name is an acronym for Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, which is derived from a concept called Multi-sensory Aesthetic Theory that drummer Jacob Marshall studied while a student at Old Dominion University.

Jacob Marshall and Dave Elkins began what would become Mae by writing their first song, "Embers and Envelopes", in Marshall's living room. The band signed with Tooth and Nail Records and released their first album, Destination: Beautiful, in 2003.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Verse 1:

C#m7 Bsus4
Are you getting tired
C#m7 Bsus4
I think we've gone and lost the fire
F#7sus4 Asus2
But I don't wanna fight anymore
F#7sus4 Bsus4 C7M
I've had enough of this town

I can see the signs
And I can read between the lines
But I don't know what we were fighting for
I'm just trying to break out

Chorus:

C#m7
I've been waiting for something
Asus2
I've been sitting for too long
Bsus4
I've been waiting but oh tonight
C7M
This one last try goes on and on and on x

Verse 2:

You put your nets out
But still you chose to do without
The only way to catch the butterfly
Is never waiting for the wings and

As seasons bring change
And as the seconds fade away
I still don't know why we were holding on
But I'm still trying to break out

Chorus:

I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on x

Bridge:

Asus2 F#7sus4
Should've known better than to listen
C#m7 E7M
When the dreams and the words started falling apart
Asus2 F#7sus4
Should've known I would've hit the ground running

C#m7 Bsus4 F#7sus4

Asus2 F#7sus4
Did you think that the night would posses us
C#m7 E7M
Take us over like the rain that's falling down
Asus2 F#7sus4
Did you notice when the clock stopped running
C#m7 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Running
C#m7 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Running
C#m7 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Running

Asus2

Verse 3:

This is the countdown
You see our time is running out
I tread to stay above the waterline
but never taking off the weights that

Keep us stuck here
In the comfort and the fear
I'll never know what we were fighting for
but I'm still looking to break out

Chorus:

I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on x
