Biography:
The New Amsterdams began as a solo project in Lawrence, Kansas to then-lead singer for The Get Up Kids Matt Pryor. In 2000, he released his debut album Never You Mind, which was comprised largely of acoustic tracks with sparse accompaniment. However, the album also featured Alex Brahl and Rob Pope providing extra instrument tracks.
Two years later in January 2002, Pryor released Para Toda Vida, this time sticking almost purely to acoustic guitar, with the exception of a few tracks utilizing harmonica and banjo as well.

Intro
G Bm D x3
G Bm A
Verse
D Bm
I'll trust as far as I can spit.
G
You can read deep into it.
Bm A D
New York nightlife isn't shit without a storyboard.
Bm G
I don't think much impresses me like a drunk celebrity.
Bm A
You just fall down and fall asleep like the rest (of us).
Chorus
G Bm D G Bm D
On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab.
G Bm D G Bm
It's a stake out. There's hanging on with bated breath, you're just milking
A
this to death.
Verse 2 as in verse 1:
So sad I have to disappoint, her name is not a selling point.
The drinks are better in this joint where everyone's a friend.
Not that the nightlife isn't great and if I seem to be irate,
I don't have tolerance for fakes:what's to say.
Chorus
G Bm D G Bm D
On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab.
G Bm D G Bm
It's a stake out. There's hanging on with bated breath, you're just milking
A
this to death.
Verse 3 as in verse 1:
Somewhere the novelty wore thin.
Every city I was in there was an actor soaked in gin with an entourage.
This is my home away from home, get a barstool of your own.
I'll watch you sinking like a stone:what a sight.
Chorus
G Bm D G Bm D
On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab.
G Bm D G Bm
It's a stake out. There's hanging on with bated breath, you're just milking
A
this for:
Coda:
D G Bm A
Access, what little we possess.
D G Bm A
Any other pays the cover but it wouldn't be the same.
D G Bm A
Excess, destined to impress.
D G Bm A
You can follow every model but you always try to hover near fame.
