Biography:
The Hold Steady is an American rock band based in Brooklyn formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, Finn recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

C#m
I thought you're through with all the bougie guys,
E
don't you wonder about the other side?
They only get invited 'cause
they think that they might buy
Ain't it sad about these metro guys,
don't it hurt to watch them moisturize?
They're never funny and they're
all so scared to die
CHORUS
C#m A G#
We're not afraid, we have our faith
We've seen scattered action and we've mostly come out unscathed
We'll be alright, we'll get through the night
Our struggle still feels wonderful most days, most days
(Instrumental over Verse Chords)
VERSE
Don't it suck about the succubi, the bloodsuckers and the parasites?
They're never funny and they're all so scared to die
All the small talk seems like suicide, the spiderwebs with the legs and eggs and eyes
They creep up from behind
If I were you I wouldn't get too close
I've seen how they eat and it gets pretty gross
They slip their tongue and they hitch onto their host
CHORUS
We're not afraid, we have our faith
Seen a couple slaughters and they mostly turned out okay
We'll be alright, we'll get through the night
Our struggle still feels wonderful most days
MIDDLE 8
C#m G# A F#
Hey New York City, I love it when you turn on your lights
Our struggle still feels wonderful tonight
BRIDGE
E A
(Instrumental)
E A
And you say you're a princess
But I remain unconvinced
I've seen the guys that you've been with
They don't much like princes
And you say you're much better
But I don't quite believe it
I saw the girls that you came with
I saw the guy that you left with
And you say you tried Jesus but it was too inconvenient
You just didn't have the patience
You say you said prayers but it felt like there was nobody there
I didn't think that you'd get it
This shouldn't hurt
But you might feel a slight discomfort
This shouldn't hurt
But you might feel a slight discomfort
This shouldn't hurt
But you might feel a slight discomfort
This shouldn't hurt
But you might feel a slight discomfort
