Transcribed by John Chapman () Any corrections/edits welcome. Words in brackets mean I’m probably wrong. Check out Semisonic consisting of Dan Wilson and John Munson from Trip Shakespeare and Jake Slichter ("a percussionist"). First full-length CD due out in April. Email to Intro: Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below Verse1: D Night of a thousand verses One thousand friends said have you heard What we expected We are all working late and Waiting to win a prize that we dont deserve And live to collect it Chorus: F#m G Cant you see Im weary Maybe this news can wait Verse2: Night of a thousand verses One thousand strivers strain to hear The voice thats left us Magazines still have to sell us Twelve master geniuses a year Its all so shameless Chorus: Repeat 2x second time "Worried" not "Weary" Bridge: B C G Maybe there was a message in it (I dont know where you hid it) Maybe there was a [P stamp] with it (I dont know where to fit it) Tell me what kind of prize can you get (When you dont want to win it) Then back to D for a few bars. Then once through verse and chorus with no words and with distorted guitar on top. Then back to bridge exactly as above Then chorus 2x. When strumming on D there is a little riff that is D in the second fret you can try to pick it while holding the chord like this: E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p B---3---3-------------------- G---1------------------------ ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so the chord continues to sound. You may find easier places to play up the neck if you’re on an electric.

Dans cette chanson, l’artiste évoque la quête de reconnaissance et de succès, où beaucoup s'accrochent à une récompense qu'ils jugent imméritée. Le texte évoque des nuits où des amis se rassemblent, attendant impatiemment un accomplissement qui semble hors de portée, tout en soulignant une certaine lassitude face à cette attente. L'idée de devoir performer dans une société qui valorise l'image et les réalisations personnelles est également mise en avant, causant une forme de désillusion. Le contexte pourrait se rapporter à notre époque où la compétition et la recherche de validation sont omniprésentes, que ce soit à travers les réseaux sociaux ou dans la vie professionnelle. Cette dynamique peut parfois mener à un sentiment d'épuisement et à la remise en question de ce que signifie véritablement "gagner" ou réussir.
