Okay, no idea who the hell is singing this song, some kid. Perhaps a relative of Conor's?
I don't know but despite the 8 year-olds singing it's still a damn good song worthy of
playing, damn easy too. So here it is.
Intro: C, F (repeat)
 Cdepression sets in again   F-------(HE'S EIGHT!!!)
I know how that goesC  
                F               C   (etcetcetc i'm lazy, deal with it)   
Nothing seems to work out anymore
And you hurt so much
Feel so helpless
Want to crawl into a hole somewhere
And just give up
And just give up
And just give up, 
But I can't let you
Because you never let me
Let me
You never let me
You never let me
(crazy fast bit, barre chords)
                           G     Am(etc)
And you say your life is useless
And you say this is all meaningless
But I, I know that that is just bullshit
Because you will not give up
Because you will not give up
Give up
Because the Fmoment that you do,
I would give up too
                C  F (Back into that ol' routine. You know the score) 
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do

The band's albums were released through Saddle Creek Records for many years, and they announced their return in 2020 with a new label. This song comes from their most recent album, Five Dice, All Threes, released in September 2024. It plays like an exploration of something primal and powerful.
