Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to "sweetness and melody", she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann's signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now.

F#m d
So what if it's breaking my heart at the root
E bm d
Something that could happen to anyone, i suppose
F#m d
Never any comfort to get from the truth
E bm d
From knowing the part of this person that no one knows
Bm a d
So we just cry
Bm a d
With hopelessness
Bm a e d
We're making such a mess
F#m d f#m e d
It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it
F#m d f#m e d
It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it
It's not that i'm frightened of being alone f#m | d
It's just that i know what a burden this grief can be e | bm d
Everything happens for something, i know f#m | d
Can't understand for the moment what this could mean e | bm d
That love is gone bm a | d
That love is blind bm a | d
That love is so unkind bm a | e d
It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it f#m | d | f#m | e d
It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it f#m | d | f#m | e d

Nobody wants to be happier more than i do

But happiness
Bm a d
I must confess
Bm a f#m
I don't have
