Biography:
Straylight Run was the project of ex-Taking Back Sunday members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. The band formed in May 2003 shortly after John and Shaun left Taking Back Sunday due to personal differences with lead singer Adam Lazzara. John and Shaun had been writing songs while still in the old band that they felt didn't fit in with Taking Back Sunday's style, and the freedom of starting a new band gave them a chance to experiment with this new sound.

---Intro---
C Am G F
---Verse---
C
I'm tired
Am
cynical and broken, but wiser
G
heavy with a sense of resentment
F
but i used to be so much different
i used to have so much faith
C
when i started
Am
you knew that i always meant it
G
i knew i could make a difference
i struggled to be heard
F
and then finally, one day people started listening
C Am G F
---Verse 2---
C
and i knew it
Am
but as soon as it began it was ruined
G
a slow descent from unique to routine
over and over
F
just do it again and this time with feeling
C
the spotlight
Am
the focus on the friends and the feelings
G
that made those stupid songs all worth singing
and don't you say a word
F C Am G F
unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed
----Chorus----
C
so we drove
for what seemed like days
Am
over roads
and four lane highways
G
we said all we had to say
F C
and I realized in time that it didn't mean anything
Reapeat Chorus

It's only a matter of time

It's only a matter of time

G
It's only a matter of time
(Not like that)

It's only a matter of time
