Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

[Verse 1]
N.C.
I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
C#m B E
And the long hard road to guide me back home
E
Back to my mama who raised me up right
A
And back to my lady I held every night
C#m B
It's a long hard road trying to get home
C#m B
I've been gone now for too long
[Chorus]
E
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E A
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
E
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E A
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A E
I'm just trying to get home
[Verse 2]
E
I've got this image engraved in my mind
A
Of a light that I had in a whole different time
C#m B
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road
E
I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
A
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
C#m B A
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home
[Chorus]
E
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
A
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
E
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E A
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A E
I'm just trying to get home
[Bridge]
N.C.
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home
E
I've been gone for so long
E
But my heart it carries on
C#m
I won't give up
[Chorus]
E
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E A
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
