Biography:
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (CFTPA) was the beats-and-keys solo project of singer, songwriter and Chicago resident, Owen Ashworth. Drawing heavy influence from traditional Americana as well as 80's synth pop and commercial hip hop, the music of CFTPA is a curious mix of austere character studies and playful electronic programming.
Owen Ashworth started to make music on a small casio keyboard back in 1997. His first two albums, "Answering Machine Music" and "Pocket Symphonies for Lonely Subway Cars

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!
I've put a chords version of the song first, though the chorus doesn't actually have any
In the chorus, there's just a piano melody (that follows the vocal line), but I've put
that follow the piano and vocal parts. I've put the piano part at the bottom of this tab.
Verse and chorus chords are almost identical. The only difference is that it doesn't go
to C for the last two bars.
The timing for chords and words aren't exact, just a rough guide from how I remember
to be.
[Verse]
C F
I've got some news on you from a friend
Am Dm
You're in Charlotte again
Am G
Teaching Spanish at high school
C F
You said you're going by Joy
C F
You cut your hair like a boy
Am G
And you don't talk to your old friends
[Chorus]
C F
I found the picture from before the fight
Am Dm
We're in natural light
Am G C
And you're sitting on my lap like everything's alright
[Verse]
C F
I've walked around with you on my mind
Am Dm
The names we used at the time
Am G
You know I've changed myself since then
C F
I've thought on things that we said
C F
What if we'd had the kid
Am G
I guess he'd be fifteen.
[Chorus]
C F
I found the picture from before the fight
Am Dm
We're in natural light
Am G C
And you're sitting on my lap like everything's alright
Now here's the piano line for the chorus. The timing is a bit rough and ready, work it
for yourself.
