Backstory:
Married Withdrawal was formed in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, in 2005 when four childhood friends found a common escape through music from their respective unhappy marriages. The members, all on the fringe of their thirties, were facing marital problems and chose music as a vent to express their emotions. Each member brought his own unique style to the table, but they all resonated with the same sentiment of love lost and the disillusionment that often comes with long-term commitment.
In the beginning, Married Withdrawal was nothing more than a therapeutic outlet for the members. However, their heartfelt lyrics and distinct sound started to gain attention in the local scene. Their once-a-week jam sessions turned into regular gigs at local bars and before long, they were headlining their own shows. Despite their troubled personal lives, the band members have managed to stay together, proving that sometimes, the best art comes from the most unexpected places.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Sitting here with a [C] whiskey in my hand
[D] Thinking ‘bout the weight of that [G] old wedding band
[G] Love we thought would [C] never fade
[D] Now it seems like a [G] masquerade
(Chorus)
[G] Dusty wedding bands, [C] tarnished by time
[D] Broken promises, [G] love no longer prime
[G] Here’s to hoping, [C] love finds a way
[D] to polish up these [G] bands someday
(Verse 2)
[G] Years fly by like a [C] runaway train
[D] Leaving behind marks of [G] love and pain
[G] We used to be so [C] young and free
[D] Now we’re stuck in a [G] melancholy sea
(Chorus)
[G] Dusty wedding bands, [C] tarnished by time
[D] Broken promises, [G] love no longer prime
[G] Here’s to hoping, [C] love finds a way
[D] to polish up these [G] bands someday
