Biography:
Rheostatics are a Canadian indie rock band. Although they had only one Top 40 hit (Claire in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada's most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 1990s, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on pop and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.
They played their farewell concert to a sold-out house at Toronto's Massey Hall on March 30, 2007. Sound board recordings of that and many other shows are available (with permission) at http://rheostaticslive.

MAKING PROGRESS

G D
Right now, we are making progress.
Em C
We are making dreams come true, just like we discussed
G D
in our most recent letters, communiques and measures
Em C
of memories and treasures, kept in bricks and mortar
G D
I won't last forever I won't even try to
Em C
I'm just making progress I don't know what else to do.
G D Em C
It's just this could be work for you and me to do.
G D
Right now, we are making progress.
Em C
Just listen to the bugs exploding on the windshield
G D
or is it just the crackling aurora borealis
Em C
or is it just the tip-toe of small things through the tall grass.
G D Em C
Or is it just that this could be work for you and me?
G D
Right now, we are making progress.
Em C
We are hanging upside down inside a vacuum
A7 G
we are taking round trips and we don't even know it
E Am
our hammers fall in silence knocking down the forest
D G
exploding all around us and I'm committing treason
E Am
'cause I'm love with reason and humans are the nicest
Bm A7
when they fall silent reflecting what lies deepest
G E7
you can hear the seashore you can see forever
Am A7
if you keep it all together and don't let up the pressure
G E7
what good's a revolution? A rising and a setting sun
Am D
a trip around the bright one lets you off where you started from
G E7
following a straight line going through a tight wind
Am Bm
I'm in love with sunshine I'm in love with humankind.
Right now.
