Biography:
Toronto-based trio The Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole, and Paul Banwatt) play indie-rock songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up in Central and Northern Alberta. They sing about summers in the Rockies and winters on the farm, ice breakups in the spring time and the oil boom’s charm, the mine workers on compressed, the equally depressed, the city’s slow growth and the country’s wild rose, but mostly the songs just try to embrace the advantage of growing up in Alberta.

Em C G C G C G Am Em
Em C G
I saw you rushing to the fire
C G Am Em
Balanced on the bones with a darkness in your eyes
Em C G
Our thoughts were crippled by desire
C G Am Em
Suddenly gestalt just colliding in the light
Em C G
I know, concentric rings in the bones aside,
Am Em
We've surely grown up
Em C G Am
I know, the lead to hands that wring and dry your eyes
C Em
Before it's too much
Em C G
Our thoughts were wicked by design
C G Am Em
If we could get home, then we could get us right
Em C G
I'll watch you wither up in time
C G Am Em
Then let you grow alone, just colliding in the light
C
Though in time
G
We were hanging on the subtlest sign
Am
Waiting on the final cry
D
Just ringing out a sign
C Em
But tonight we're surprised if we're runners in the night
Em C G C G Am Em
Em C G C G Am Em
Em C G
I know, concentric rings in the bones don't lie
Am Em
We've surely grown up
Em C G Am
I know, these hands that wring they're gonna dry your eyes
C Em
Before we give enough
C
Though in time
G
We were hanging on the subtle sign
Am
Waiting on the final cry
G
But when you gonna dry your eyes
C
We were holding up the keep and more
G
After hanging on the final chord
Am
"It'll be alright," his voice informed
D
Just ringing out a sign
C
But tonight, well you're mine,
Em
And we're runners in the night
Em C G C G Am Em
Em C G C G Am Em
C
After the night and more
G
After hanging on the final chord
Am
"It'll be alright," he screamed and more
D
Just ringing out a sign

But tonight, well you're mine,
Em
And we're runners in the night
