Friendly Chain, the indie rock sensation, was formed in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, in 2012. The five-piece band consists of childhood friends Jason (vocals), Ben (guitar), Ellie (bass), Tom (drums), and Lily (keyboard). The group grew up together, fostering a deep bond that ultimately ignited their shared passion for music. Inspired by their favorite local bands, the group decided to form their own band during their freshman year of college. Their name, Friendly Chain, signifies the unbreakable bond they share, which they believe powers their synergy on and off the stage.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] Walking down the [G] familiar streets
[F] Where our stories [C] intertwine
[Am] Laughter, tears, the [G] echoes clear
[F] Reminding us, we’re [C] intertwined
(Chorus)
[Dm] We are the strings of [F] unity
[C] Bound by a Friendly [G] Chain
[Dm] With every beat and [F] melody
[C] We’ll dance in the [G] pouring rain
(Verse 2)
[Am] Through the highs and [G] the lows, we’ve grown
[F] Carving memories [C] in time
[Am] A pact we’d made, a [G] bond unswayed
[F] Solid as the [C] rhythm and rhyme
(Chorus)
[Dm] In the strings of [F] unity
[C] We find our strength [G] again
[Dm] With each note, a [F] symphony
[C] We’ll sing till the [G] very end
