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: E B A E A B )
E
I spoiled just like wine, left a sour taste in your mouth
B
You said, it was not that that I changed I just strayed
A
In the dark of the night
E
Love is patient and wise, but it's not always kind
B
when you learn how it leaves, so nimble and lythe,
A
through fingers like sand, it never lingers, and I'm grating my hands
( Pre Chorus: E B B7 )
A E
My patience is waning, I'm growing tired
A E
In the scorn of the weather, my fickle heart fades, and I can't make the grade,
A
But I'll graduate gently without stories worth singing, of my own
F#m B
Just need a little romance, I just need a little time
F#m B A E
Just need a little young love, to ease my mind
E
My ears ringing, teeth grind, think I'd be able better off blind
B
she said, so that I won't picture it
A
I've yet to grow patient, I've yet to grow kind
E
Love was patient and wise, but didn't stay through the time
B
Preoccupied we were, now my smile's breaking
A
But if I learn to relax all my muscles in vain, float on the waves see if your heart still remains
E
it's as wide as the ocean
B B7
The birds in the sky
A E
My patience is waning, I'm growing tired
A E
In the scorn of the weather, my fickle heart fades, and I can't make the grade,
A
But I'll graduate gently without stories worth singing, of my own
F#m B
Just need a little romance, I just need a little time
F#m B A E
Just need a little young love, to ease my mind
(Alternate and build between A and E- repeats about ten times)
A A7
It's a long way down from the top to the bottom
E E7
It's a long way back to a high from where I am
Repeat and Jam
