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.

(x2)
[Verse]
E B
Tequila take off, Tecate landing
E A
Sorry about the centerpiece, thanks for understanding
E B
Soft salesmen, hard branding. Campari commissions.
E A
I was sitting in the kitchen trying to guess where she was living now
E B
Hotel room in Houston with the shades against the sunshine
E A
Or maybe still in Scranton like it's 1999
E B
When I saw her rolling through with the Entitlement Crew
E A
I wasn't all that into it but there was nothing I could do about it
[Riff]
E B E A
[Verse]
E B
Now here's a church, here's the steeple
E A
I like the party favors but I hate the party people
E B
Got distracted by the chorus when the kids all sang along
E A
Moved to the rogue set. I always really liked that song.
[Pre-Chorus]
E E/Eb
You like that song too. I know that you do.
C#m B
I saw you mouthing all the words when you didn't know I was watching you
A B
Everything is brittle and is breaking apart
E A
Your sister's in Seattle and she's sleeping with the sharks
A B
I remember you, still, playing his part
[Chorus]
E A
Thanks for listening, thanks for understanding
E A
Can't you see how I feel I've been abandoned?
B E A B
Never got to say goodbye to you
E A
Give my best to the Entitlement Crew

E B
Tecate landing, tequila takeoff
E A
Colfax cookout, Pillsbury bakeoff
E B
Too many cracks in the bathroom. Too many kooks in the kitchen.
E A
It would probably be easier if I knew where she was living now
[Pre-Chorus]
E E/Eb
I know you probably feel the same way as I feel
C#m B
Like I'm not sure we can pull off such an intricate deal
A B
Now all of it's killer but it's coming up quick
E A
And your brother's in Boston and he's acting like a dick
A B
I remember back before we knew he was sick
[Chorus]
E A
Thanks for listening, thanks for understanding
E A
Can't you see how I feel I've been abandoned?
B E A B
Never got to say goodbye to you
E A
Give my best to the Entitlement Crew

Just two systems in the dark and people dancing

Thanks for listening thanks for understanding

Nodding off to the American Routes

Give my best to the Entitlement Crew
