Biografia:
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.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
This is pretty close, the only part I am not sure about is the chord runs after
the second and fourth lines in the chorus.

Capo 1
A E
I caught you caterwauling, giving grief
F#m C#m
Thought you were cannonballing after me
G# F#m G# A B
Now that your actions speak for themselves
C#m
And wished you well
A E
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
F#m C#m
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
G# F#m G# A B
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
F#m A B
Get in the car
E C#m
And say what you mean
A B E F#m
Explain yourself to me
C#m B C#m-A-B
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
E C#m A B E F#m
Let me help, I promise not to tell
C#m B G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
Break: (Same strum pattern as verse)
A, E, F#m, C#m, G# F#m-G#-A, B, C#m
A E
First time I met you I was full of fear
F#m C#m
Knew that eventually you'd disappear
G# F#m G# A B
Just when I needed you to burn to smoke
F#m A B
And off you go
E C#m A B E F#m
Just come back and peel away the mess
C#m B C#m-A-B
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
E C#m A B E F#m
Take it back your dignity attacked
C#m B G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Turn back to the person you tried to let die
A E
I caught you nesting with your antelope
F#m C#m
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
G# F#m G# A B
Becoming infinite against his couch
F#m A B
Open your mouth
E C#m A B E F#m
and say the words you used to wish you heard
C#m B C#m-A-B
Back when you focused enough to be good
E C#m A B E F#m
And if you're gone, an endless false alarm
C#m B G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Just remember I loved you as long as I could
Outro: (Same strum pattern as verse)
A, E, F#m, C#m, G# F#m-G#-A, B, C#m
