Biography:
Straylight Run was the project of ex-Taking Back Sunday members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. The band formed in May 2003 shortly after John and Shaun left Taking Back Sunday due to personal differences with lead singer Adam Lazzara. John and Shaun had been writing songs while still in the old band that they felt didn't fit in with Taking Back Sunday's style, and the freedom of starting a new band gave them a chance to experiment with this new sound.

G Bm/F# Em C | G Bm/F# Em Cadd9 |
[VERSE 1]
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj7
Took a long time just to find you there
G G/F# Em Cadd9
I knew I said a lot but you didn't care
G Bm/F# Em7 C
I tried hard to sell myself,
G G/F# Em Cadd9
You just laughed and brushed me off
[CHORUS 1]
G Bm/F# Em C G Bm/F# Em Cadd9
Then one day you smiled and said my... name
G Bm/F# Em7 C G Bm/F# Em Cmaj9
I went back home, and no - thing's e - ver gon - na be the same, and
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj9 G Bm/F# Em Cmaj9
Who could ask for more?
G Bm/F# Em7 Cadd9 G G/F# Emadd4 Cmaj9
But all week waiting on the week - ends, we'll get bored

G Bm/F# Em C | G Bm/F# Em Cadd9 |
[VERSE 2]
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj7
I called you up and we talked all night,
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Ranting and raving how it wasn't right
G Bm/F# Em7 C
How geography makes love so hard
G G/F# Em Cadd9
It's oh, so cruel to be oh, so far
[CHORUS 2]
G Bm/F# Em C G G/F# Em Cadd9
And you've been back and gone again since then
G Bm/F# Em7 C G Bm/F# Emadd4 Cmaj9
I just wait around until I see you again, and
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj9 G Bm/F# Em Cadd9
Who could ask for more?

[INTERLUDE 2]
G Bm/F# Em C | G Bm/F# Em Cadd9 |
[VERSE 3]
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj7
So we've grown so close though it's been so hard
G G/F# Em Cadd9
Being so goddamn far apart
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj7
We left those lovers that came oh, so close
G G/F# Em Cadd9
But fell so short, we held out hope
[CHORUS 3]
G Bm/F# Em C G G/F# Em Cadd9
And this is our reward for being brave
G Bm/F# Em7 C G G/F# Emadd4 Cmaj9
For doing what was right and ne - ver playing it safe, and
G Bm/F# Em7 Cmaj9 G Bm/F# Em Cadd9
Who could ask for more?
