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.

THEY SPEAK OF MY DRINKING, BUT NEVER OF MY THIRST - The Menzingers
Tuning: Standard
Definitely a simplified version of this song, but if you wanted to play along, you could
just play everything as powerchords and that'd be all of the rhythm guitars parts.

They called a meeting of the doctors and drug dealers in suits

You'll feel much better when it's said and done.

Who am I to say? I'm probably drunk...

"Well, we've finally got the new data and the good news is
C#m
they don't think for themselves anymore"

My doctor says, "Don't worry son, they'll get ya when they come

But you can hold on forever but the devil's won

E A C#m B
Well I've got your numbers
