Biography:
Shannon and the Clams is an American indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, the band has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
Like a Beach Rock revival, Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud.

[Intro]
Bm Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm A
Living the life, it don't happen over night
Bm A
One step at a time, so you don't feel the bite
Bm
I don't feel it get worst
A
Till' you're talking in reverse
[Chorus]
A
Oh I am tryin'
Bm
Oh I am tryin'
F#m
You don't know how I'm tryin'
E
To be so good
[Verse 2]
Bm A
Love at blind is easier to find
Bm
Than blood under the skin
A
Or a wound after a bite
Bm
It's easy to hide
A
If you don't know what is right
[Chorus]
A
Oh I am tryin'
Bm
Oh I am tryin'

You don't know how I'm tryin'
E
To be so good

And we were dreamin' from the very start

Oh if you find me

Release me to crawl out of my mind
[Solo]
