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!
In the live in-store performances of this song, they've been playing these chords but only tuned
down a half-step. On the record, it's these chords, but tuned down a whole step to DGCFAD.
If you don't want to tune down a whole step, transpose down 2 semitones so the first chord
reads "F" (or down another semitone, play it in E with a capo, etc etc).
[Intro]
G Bm C G C G D (x2)
[Verse]
G Bm
Sunken eyes and strangers' faces
C G C
I fall asleep in the strangest places
G
What the hell am I doing?
D
Where have my friends gone?
G Bm
Can't stand these people no more
C G C
But you cannot leave when you can't find the door
G
Smashed my phone, lost my wallet
D
Who's this new friend of mine?
{Chorus]
Em G
Why do some people make you nervous
Em G C C/B Am
And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?
[Interlude]
G Bm C G C G D
[Verse]
G Bm
Nightstand memorial to past libation
C G C
A sudden fear of phone vibrations
G
Too hung over to sleep
D
Too tired to stay alive
G Bm
Benzos, bile, and bills
C G C
There's so much missing time to kill
G D
I shake like an airplane on its way down
{Chorus]
Em G
Why do some people make you nervous
Em G C C/B Am
And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?
C C/B Am
When the bars are closing?

No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun
G Bm
No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun
C
I used to care
D G Bm
Now I stare into the sunken eyes and strangers' faces
C G C
I fall asleep in the strangest places
G
What the hell am I doing?
D
Where have my friends gone?
