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]
F C G Dm x2
[Verse 1]
F C
Footsteps through the hollow sound
G Dm
Like the wind blew through the south cold
F C
Hadn't looked down, feared something
G Dm
Beneath the old me, without any time
F C
We all drifted out from these shores
G Dm
Finding photographs and loveletters in bottles battered, worn
F C
Shallow saltwater singing sore
G Dm
You may not be mine
F C
Friends they were shopping next door
G Dm
Spending money on things that they couldn't afford
F C
Tide pulls too deep for me to hold
G Dm
Standing still, still changing tide
F (1/4 Bar)
[Chorus]
Am E
Stay open, stay open
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free
C E F
Won't give my love for free
Fm C E F
Oh, but please, take it from me
[Verse 2]
F C
Trying to send my bitter rhyme
G Dm
But outside from your jokes I'm left to die cold
F C
It is a long drive in my thoughts
G Dm
Dance slow behind
F C
Show me that you dried in the sand
G Dm
Your favorite book with no pages, I'm a shell of a man
F C
I'm fumbling with two sets of keys
G Dm
But I'm setting 'em down
F C
Words crawl under my skin
G Dm
Like the wind from the north of your hair
F C
Last fall we buried dead plans
G Dm
Choke dying plans
F C
Last fall we buried dead plans
G Dm
Choke dying plans
F (1/4 bar)
[Chorus]
Am E
Stay open, stay open
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free

Won't give my love for free

Oh, but please, take it from me

Oh my god is falling in pieces

Oh my god is being turned over
C Em Am Dm
Oh my god, this is out of my hand
Am E
Stay open, stay open (oh my god, falling to pieces)
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that (oh my god, falling apart)
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free (Oh my god , turning it over)

Won't give my love for free
