Biography:
Bad Books, simply put, is Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra.
A true accident if there ever was one; Bad Books was never an intended nor calculated side project of Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull. Though the two musicians have collaborated and performed together on tour and within the Favorite Gentlemen community of artists for years now, the genesis of Bad Books came from a simple idea to fill space and time off the road by collaborating on a small batch of songs together at the top of the year.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
These are just the chords, but they should be right, hopefully you can figure out
some way to pick it out just right.
A E
We slept for close to seven hours
A E
all the way to your dad's basket case.
A E B
I didn't catch the final score
A
so I prayed that we'd sink a few more.
E
And I didn't mind and you didn't seem to
A E
mind about me, but I was wrong.
A E B
Who wouldn't fear to leave it all
A
cause it's gonna come,
E
it's gotta come.
A E
I am the widow,
A E
the spidered king.
A E
There's web in your teeth,
B
And there's holes in the ceiling.
A E
And I wanted more, I left with nothing.
A E
Who's really lost and who's really winning?
A E B
I begged again, you said hello.
A
For now that's all I know.
A E
Now I remember
A E
the exhaust and remains.
A E B B
A shallow shadow hung across my brand new drapes.
A E
And I gave my car away,
A E
down towards the post office.
A E B
Man told me he needed it more.
A
I believed him, went home and slept more.
A E
And that's what gets me sometimes,
A E
that's what struck me blind,
A E
And that's why there's no time.
A E
That's why I still try,
A B
and that's why...
A
I begged you everything,
E
I begged you everything.
A E
Begged you everything, everything.
A E B E
Fuck am I supposed to do when
A E A E
you just lie your arms in mine?
A E B E
Fuck am I supposed to do
A E A E
when you never lie about tellin a lie?
A E B E
So what was I supposed to do?
A E A A
Just keep on trying through sleepless nights?
A E B E
Fuck am I supposed to choose?
A E
Cause I begged you everything, everything.
A E
I can remember wishing that
A E
the season had lasted a little longer.
A E B
It don't, and we die.
A
If not me, then to my pride.
E
If not now, then tonight.
A
If not then, we just might
E
give up trying.
