Biography:
The Districts are a four-piece indie rock band from the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania. The group formed in 2009 while members Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus, and Braden Lawrence were all still in high school. The prolific young band released its first EP, Kitchen Songs, in 2011 followed by Telephone, its debut full-length, the following year. The Districts' second EP, the more acoustic-leaning While You Were in Honesdale, was released in late 2012 and the band continued to perform regionally.

[Intro]
Am C/G
[Verse]
C Am
Sunshine stretching like valley riverbeds,
C/G D7
They call my name from down the hall.
F
And if I would leave would you go with me?
C D7 (Add 5th fret on e string to mimic slide)
Would you lay me down to get my sleep?
C Am
I don’t know if I use my head the right way,
C/G D7
But then again who’s to say that I’m wrong?
F C D7 (add 5th fret)
I’m sick of this longing but I feel to dull, when it’s gone.
[Chorus]
F Am
Living lives in two places wears my soul too thin,
C D7
I was walking from the station just to meet you in the morning,
F Am
I believe in dawned on me, I don’t know where I began,
C D7
I was walking from the station just to meet you.
F Caug
I ain’t the same anymore, I ain’t the same from before,
C D7
You’ve gone and changed I’m sure, I’m trying to find the right words.
F Am
I ain’t the same anymore, you’ve gone and changed I’m sure,
C D7
You’ve gone and changed from before and I’m trying to find the right words,
G7 F7
It’s the difference between us worth a thousand diamond rings.
[Verse]
C Am
Sunshine, I believe we’re headed the right way,
C/G D7
But then again I can’t quite tell for sure.
F
'Cause we’re running to the west to let our hands touch down
C D7 (add 5th fret)
Where you left me in the dark so long before.
C Am
Walking, street posts lying like daylight,
F C
But I know it won’t be light here for much more,
D7 F Am (C) D7
So I’m stalling and I’m frightened and I’m sinking down to the floor.
[Chorus]
F Am
Living lives in two places wears my soul too thin,
C D7
I was walking from the station just to meet you in the morning,
F Am
I believe in dawned on me, I don’t know where I began,
C D7
I was walking from the station just to meet you.
F Caug
I ain’t the same anymore, I ain’t the same from before,
C D7
You’ve gone and changed I’m sure, I’m trying to find the right words.
F Am
I ain’t the same anymore, you’ve gone and changed I’m sure,
C D7
You’ve gone and changed from before and I’m trying to find the right words,
G7 F7
It’s the difference between us worth a thousand diamond rings.
