Biography:
Make Do And Mend is an American post-hardcore band from West Hartford, Connecticut, formed in 2006. They first released a 6-track EP (We're All Just Living) in 2007, and then a follow-up EP (Bodies Of Water). They gave it for free online, and then Panic Records called to help out with an official release, which came true in March 2009. At the end of the year, the band entered the studio to record two songs for a split album with Touché Amoré, released September 2010 on Panic Records.

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!
Mostly power chords but I like to open up to full open or barre chords in the bigger parts of the song.
The timing is a little tricky but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward song.
[Intro]
B
C#m B (x8)
[Verse]
C#m B F#m
Oh, I climb the wooden stairs to my apartment in the city
E
with dark brown molding and white walls.
C#m B F#m
I search my bank account for traces of the forty-hour weeks
E C#m B
I’ve been working since last fall.
[Chorus]
C#m E
Give me a list of alarms to set,
F#m
I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in
E
on the weekends.
C#m
Another slave to a paycheck,
A
a silent servant to my monthly rent,
F#m E C#m B
what’s keeping me from sinking in the deep end?
[Verse]
C#m B
Now there’s something to be said
F#m
for a firm lack of common sense,
A
'cause god knows getting in the van isn’t paying rent.
C#m B
And now my older friends
F#m
are all getting married with kids,
A C#m
and I’m just stoked to play a basement.
F#m
What's right and wrong in times like these?
[Chorus]
C#m E
Give me a list of alarms to set,
F#m
I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in
E
on the weekends.
C#m
Another slave to a paycheck,
A
a silent servant to my monthly rent,
F#m E
what’s keeping me from sinking in the deep end?
[Bridge]
C#m
And all I can do is stall
C
while the plans we make
B
become grit in the storm drain’s teeth,
Bb
and the rain is getting harder every week.
A G#m
.....Now the plans we make
F#m
become grit in the storm drain’s teeth,
N.C.
and the puddles are growing deeper at my feet.
[Chorus]
C#m E
Give me a list of alarms to set,
F#m
I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in
E
on the weekends.
C#m
Another slave to a paycheck,
A
a silent servant to my monthly rent,
F#m
I'm sinking, I'm sinking
E C#m
I'm sinking, I'm sinking, I'm saying I'm sinking again
