Backstory:
Limited Humor was formed in the heart of Brooklyn in 2011 when a group of college buddies decided to take their shared love for music to the next level. Brent Jones, the charismatic lead vocalist, and guitarist, met the equally talented drummer, Mike D’Amico, during a freshman year music class. The pair quickly bonded over their shared passion for witty, ironic lyrics and decided to start a band. They later recruited bassist Ryan Murphy and keyboardist Laura Adams, after hearing their impromptu jam sessions in the college dorms. The band, known for their tongue-in-cheek take on life’s oddities, got their big break when they won a local battle of the bands competition, which led to a record deal and their first EP.

Title:
“Bittersweet Irony”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] She paints a [G] picture with her [Am] words,
[E] But it’s all [F] shades of [C] grey.
[C] He laughs at [G] every joke she [Am] says,
[E] But he doesn’t [F] really feel that [C] way.
(Chorus)
[F] It’s a bittersweet [C] irony,
[G] Just like a tragic [Am] comedy.
[F] We’re just actors on this [C] stage,
[G] Playing out our [Am] lives in a strange [E] way.
(Verse 2)
[C] She pretends to [G] be strong, [Am]
[E] But inside she’s [F] falling [C] apart.
[C] He acts like [G] he’s aloof, [Am]
[E] But she’s broken his [F] heart.
(Chorus)
[F] It’s a bittersweet [C] irony,
[G] Just like a tragic [Am] comedy.
[F] We’re just actors on this [C] stage,
[G] Playing out our [Am] lives in a strange [E] way.
(Bridge)
[F] We’re all just [C] living in this [G] bittersweet irony,
[Am] Laughing through the [E] pain,
[F] Wearing our [C] masks, [G] hiding our [Am] tears.
(Chorus)
[F] It’s a bittersweet [C] irony,
[G] Just like a tragic [Am] comedy.
[F] We’re just actors on this [C] stage,
[G] Playing out our [Am] lives in a strange [E] way.
(Outro)
[C] It’s a bittersweet [G] irony,
[Am] A tragic [E] comedy,
[F] Our lives played [C] out on this stage,
[G] In a strangely beautiful [Am] way.
