Biography:
The Districts are a four-piece indie rock band from the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania.

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.

[Verse 1]
G Bm
I was sittin in the rocking chair by the side of the house
C Am
Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars
G
Claps and it drips on your window
G
I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet
Bm
Seem so hypnotizing
C Am G
These eyes are exits to be
[Chorus]
Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
G B Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
Am G C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am G C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
Am G C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down
G
Whoa!
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
G Bm
And the days didn't come around, shivered at the sight
C Am G
Finally looking out these hoping eyes , all strings pulled put me aside
G Bm
I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole
C Am G
Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh
[Chorus]
Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
G B Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
Am G C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am G C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
Am G C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down

Whoa!
