Biography:
There's an ongoing joke: When musicians get too wasted they start side projects. These grandiose schemes usually fizzle as attention spans are rerouted to deal with hangovers and coming back down to reality. Occasionally there are exceptions to this rule...
Enter The Playing Favorites, a band born out of an idea conceived on a drunken night in Japan when old pals Joey Cape and Luke Tierney were on tour together in their respective bands (Me First & the Gimme Gimmes and The Penfifteen Club).

B G#
You've got her now but you've lost yourself, like there's no tomorrow
A E
Together at last, but you've never felt so alone
B G#
An empty face and a swollen heart, another bone to swallow
A E
The years go fast but the clock ticks oh so slow
C# E
The good things they're so few and far between
C# F#
It's much too late to break this thing off clean
B E C# G
You've seen the worst she's got to give (Not in a happy place to live)
B E C# G
Sat there choking on your tears (While she wasted your good years)
B E C# G
The things she said they cut so deep (And all that pain does not come cheap)
B E C# G
While she's worked out all her fears (You better waste all your good years)
B G#
Nothing you do could ever be enough but you sure got good at the let down
A E
Disappointment you can shove in your liver
B G#
She looks at you when the going gets rough but you just put your head down
A E
You tried so hard but there's nothing left you can give her
C# E
She's doing you no favors, let her go
C# F#
And those years are never coming back you know
B E C# G
You've seen the worst she's got to give (Not in a happy place to live)
B E C# G
Sat there choking on your tears (While she wasted your good years)

B G#
Sticks and stones they break your bones, and those names they kinda hurt too
A G F#5+ E
And all the years, yeah, she just dumped on you

You've seen the worst she's got to give (Not in a happy place to live)
