Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

[Intro]
G G/B C D (x2)
[Verse]
G G/B C
I hope this isn't a burden
D G
Thanks for having us over
G/B
We could sleep on the couch
C
We could sleep on the floor
D Em
We would leave before you even noticed we were here
D C G
Even notice us at all
[Verse]
G G/B C
Been having problems with our landlord
D G
He said he's taking us both to court
G/B
She got her hours slashed
C D G
And my unemployment's drying up fast
G/B C
We both got worthless diplomas
D G
from worthless universities
G/B C
Two bachelor's in worthless studies
D Em
But at least it made our parents happy
D
And cost a whole lot of money
[Chorus]
G
You said LA's only two days
C
if we drive straight, Denver if we get tired
G
Said you didn't mind stopping
C
Just as long as we got out of the midwest states
G
The midwestern states
G
The midwestern states
G
The midwestern states
G
The midwestern states
[Verse]
G
But I know somewhere in Chicago where we can stay for a little
N.C.
I hope this isn't a burden
G
Thanks for having us over
G/B C D G
Most nights we always fall asleep with something dumb on Netflix
G/B C D G
Some nights trash reality or kids cartoons or shitty documentaries
G/B C
Not perfect but we're good together
D G
Yeah, me, you, and our bad tattoos
G/B C
Yeah, all our stick and pokes, all our inside jokes
D Em
We'll regret them when we're dead and sober
D C
But we're still breathing and the party ain't over
[Chorus]
G
You said LA's only two days
C
if we drive straight, Denver if we get tired
G
Said you didn't mind stopping
C
Just as long as we got out of the midwest states
