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]
D Dm C
There's a drawer in my house that I try to keep closed but it's open
G F C
There's a commitment that I made to be somewhere but it's broken
F Fm6 C G
An oblique mantra in my head, it lies there on the floor like a bed that would
F Dm C
Collapse like a trap, if it was spoken
[Chorus]
Am G
You gotta keep it even, even when you're uptight
Am A
Even when you're happy, even when you're reaching for some
D Dm C
Line I've had in mind, it's been repressed over time, so I'm breathing
G F C
Seduced by an excuse that could not be made but I'm speaking
[Instrumental]

D Dm C
There's a phone with a number that I try not to call but it's ringing
G F C
For someone I've tried to keep to myself but I'm singing
F Fm6 C G
It's logic that's twisted and paraphrased and justified by a distance
F Dm C
That separates a bond, bound of persistence
[Chorus]
Am G
You gotta keep it even, even when you're uptight
Am A
Even when you're happy, even when you're reaching for
