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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The Menzingers tune a half-step down, so they play this with a capo on the 2nd fret,
but if you stay in standard tuning, you'd capo on the first fret.
[Intro]
A Bm D
[Verse]
A Bm
Oh yeah, oh yeah, everything is terrible
D A
When buying marijuana makes you feel like a criminal
A Bm
When your new friends take a joke too literal
D A
Making you feel like the bad guy
A Bm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
D A
Where are we gonna go
A Bm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
D A
now that our twenties are over?
A Bm
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all hope abandoned
D A
I'm not young enough to be a companion
A Bm
Not old enough to be a guide
D A
What a cliche, time to try
A Bm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
D A
Where are we gonna go

Where are we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
D
Where are we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
A
Everyone's asking me over and over
D A
The decade taken hostage by my own guilty conscience
D
When you gonna quit this nonsense?
A
Everyone's asking me over and over
F#m
But I
A/G# A D Bm
don't mind telling lies
[Interlude]
A Bm D A (x2)
[Verse]
A Bm
So, oh yeah, oh yeah, let's go to Vegas
D A
Put it all on black and get married by Elvis

If we wake up broke, we'll be fine
D A
We'll get rich in another lifetime
A Bm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
D A

[Bridge]
D
Like tension you can cut with a knife
A
Like a wedding ring that never fit right
D
Like a car alarm that won't stop howling
A A/G# F#m
A decade lost in the motions to romance and cheap whiskey
A
The subtle sound of a fleeting feeling
F#m
Like four chords that don't love you no more
A
In a motel room, a sleeping bag on the floor
