Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

[Verse 1]
B F#m E D
I know exactly where I was when I first saw you the way I see you now,
A B F#m
through these eyes waiting to retry. Those pristine days, I recall so fondly.
E D A
So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only.
B F#m E D
I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it. I know I loved you, did I even deserve it
A B F#m
when you returned it? There's no suspicion, no hesitation.
E B
Believing through the eyes of sore adoration
[Chorus]
A F#m A F#m
Witness and know Fracture and hurt
A E A D
Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed
A B A F#m
Shield like a house Closing it's doors
A E A D
Curved in the dark Rinses of yours
F#m
[Verse 2]
B F#m E D
Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty. No music plays and nothing moves without drifting
A B F#m
into a memory. Busy apartment, no room for grieving.
E D A
Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing that you are leaving.
B F#m E B
Mid-sentence tremors, mind at it's weakest. One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with.
[Chorus]
A F#m A F#m
Witness and know Fracture and hurt
A E A D
Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed
A B A F#m
Shield like a house Closing it's doors
A E A D
Curved in the dark Rinses of yours

[Verse 3]
B F#m
In walks the darkness I pitch without you.
E D
Asks me; "Do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to?"
A B F#m
Indeed, I do know. It never leaves me, just visits less often.
E D A
It isn't gone and I won't feel it's grip soften without a coffin.
B F#m E B
Breathing beside me, feeling it's warmness, phantom affection gives a human performance.
[Chorus]
A F#m A F#m
Witness and know Fracture and hurt
A E A D
Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed
A B A F#m
Shield like a house Closing it's doors
A E A D
Curved in the dark Rinses of yours
[Outro]
