Biography:
After 17 years of being the lead singer of Yellowcard, in 2018 Ryan Key embraced his first name and embarked on an acoustic, self-produced solo career as William Ryan Key. The slowed singer/songwriter nature of these songs definitely set them apart from the kind of music that Yellowcard was known for, but the lyrics still have a familiar nature to them.

[Intro]
(Single Strum}
E B G#m A
(Fingerpicking Begins)
E B E A
[Verse]
E
I don't shine like the others do
B E
I'm so close, and so far
A
From the light you see them standing in
E B
I'll come running if you tell me to
B E
Upstate, I'm too late
A
And the Turnpike's choking up again
[Chorus]
C#m B
Who do I think I am
A E
Rushing in where I can't win
F#
And I am always
C#m B
Crumbling beneath this
A E
Heavy weight, much to say
F#m E
Is this way always
E B E A
[Verse 2]
E
Take me down to the bowery
B E
Break bread, you said
A E
I'm a loyal one, I'm a lot of fun
E
Find a garden and will burn it down
C#m B E
Someday I'll say
A F#
I was wrong to feel so overcome
A B C#m E F#
[Verse 3]
F# A
This is all dimensional
E B C#m E
Its alternate, appropriate
F# A
Maybe it's a ritual
B C#m E F#
A sacrifice, a drink on ice
A
I am unconventional
E C#m E
And with this truth I come to you
C#m E A
With this truth I come to you
[Chorus]
C#m B
Who do I think I am
A E
Rushing in where I can't win
F#m
And I am always
C#m B
Crumbling beneath this
A E
Heavy weight, much to say
F#m E
Is this way always
[Outro]
