Biography:
Superchunk is an indie rock band which formed in 1989 in the college town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. The band consists of Mac McCaughan (vocals, guitar), Laura Ballance (bass), Jim Wilbur (guitar) and Jon Wurster (drums). McCaughan and Ballance founded the indie record label Merge Records mostly to distribute the band's material, but has since grown into one of the largest indie record labels in the United States.
After a pair of well-received singles, Superchunk released Superchunk in 1990, a critically-lauded LP.

Done by ear. Lyrics are pulled off of some site (and incomplete).
I play an acoustic and like playing with the AMaj7 (x02120), but the regular A
(x02220) is fine (or power chords).
I did a rough tab of the first guitar break.

You finally pulled back when the world pulled your hair
AM7 E
Alone in the room with a question hangin

You left with your hand in the air, and it's still there

At your age life moves so fast

Twelve years old, skinny legs, built to come in last

You were trying so hard to explain

Broadcast failure

But you came through, you came through
G#m F#m
When nobody expected you to

You came through, you came through
G#m F#m
With all those narrowed eyes upon you

You came through, you came through

So you could crush all those bullies and demons down

You're still waving back at us
