Biography:
Ought is a band formed in Montreal, Canada.
Guitarist and vocalist Tim Darcy, originally a folk musician hailing from New Hampshire, fell in with New Jersey native Matt May (keyboards) and Australian émigré Tim Keen (drums, violin) – the three of them began sharing an apartment that doubled as practice space, where they were soon joined by Portland,OR transplant Ben Stidworthy on bass. Ought played its first show and recorded its first "New Calm EP" in the apartment's largest bedroom, in the summer of 2012.

[Intro]
B
Didn't I say to you not too recent
It was never gonna stay
It was never gonna stay here
B
You're like the moon in a basket of wheat
You rose out of the roses
Right under my mouth
[Verse 1]
E C#m
A far away cry from this petty little town
B
Shine back, we will notice
Though you never owed us
E C#m
Some passionately painted creatures were meant
B
To descend from the bleachers
Without much more than a promise
E C#m F#m
Well, you got it in your gut stinking
G G#m
I could taste it in your paint
G G#m
When you left and when you came
E B
Like a remarkable mellow feeling
E
But that won't make it remarkable feeling

[Verse 2]
E C#m
Didn't I taste it, feel it and know
B
In so many ways, so many ways
E C#m
The feel of your honey in the corner of my mouth
B
Like a loop around the block
Like a shadow in your notebook
E C#m F#m
Oh c'mon what's based in rhyme doesn't matter
G G#m G G#m
Now we pause the tape for some laughter
E B
I won't accept the conceit any further
E
I will return it to you in a fervor

[Verse 3]
E
My sole cousin told me I was featured in a play
B
I was meant to take the stage, I turned to him okay
E
And in it we drove all night and you smiled so much
B
You got creases on your face, the kind that give you grace
E
And I try to keep cool regardless of what
B
I know to be true, I know to be true
B B B B
You got good timing and you listen blindly
B B B B
You're a street fighter, no prize fighter, well
[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B B B B
Well, fictions are frightening
B B B B
Like statues in lightning
B B B B
And I wore my boot sole
B B B B
And you gave it a new hole
Well
[Chorus]
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
E
Desire, desire
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
B
It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay)
Alternates between E and B for the rest.
