SOL#m          MI7+    
 My tea's gone cold I'm wondering 
FA#       SI7+   RE#m/LA# SOL#m
why I got out of bed at  all
            MI7+              FA#
The morning rain clouds up my window 
    SI7+    RE#m/LA# SOL#m
and I can't see at  all
         MI7+            FA#
And even if I could it'd all be gray, 
         SI7+    RE#m/LA# SOL#m
but your picture on my   wall
     MI7+                FAm7/5-          MI7+
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

SOL#m                   MI7+
 Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling
FA#

    SI7+             RE#m/LA#
and my home phone at the bottom
SOL#m                      MI7+
I sent two letters back in autumn,

There probably was a problem

at the post office or something
SOL#m                          MI7+
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy 

when I jot 'em
FA#                               SI7+

If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her?
                     SOL#m       
I'mma name her Bonnie
                        MI7+
I read about your Uncle Ronnie, too, I'm sorry
FA#                              SI7+
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch 
           RE#m/LA#
who didn't want him
SOL#m                                MI7+
 I know you probably hear this every day, 
                       FA#
but I'm your biggest fan
                    SI7+                 RE#m/LA#
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
SOL#m                       MI7+
  I got a room full of your posters 
                    FA#
and your pictures, man
                             SI7+
I like the shit you did with Rawkus, too, 
RE#m/LA#          SOL#m

                    MI7+                                  
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back

It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

     SOL#m                           MI7+
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, 
 
I hope you have a chance
FA#                             SI7+
 I ain't mad - I just think it's fucked up 
          RE#m/LA#  SOL#m
you don't answer fans
                         MI7+ 
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
           FA#
You didn't have to, 
                   SI7+                  RE#m/LA#
but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
SOL#m                                   MI7+
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
                 FA#
We waited in the blistering cold for you
    SI7+               RE#m/LA#
For four hours and you just said, "No"
SOL#m
 That's pretty shitty man  
MI7+
you're like his fucking idol
FAm7/5-
 He wants to be just like you man, 
MI 
he likes you more than I do
SOL#m         
 I ain't that mad though, 
             MI7+
I just don't like being lied to
FA#                          SI7+
 Remember when we met in Denver  
            RE#m/LA#
you said if I'd write you
          SOL#m                          MI7+
You would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
             FA#
I never knew my father neither
           SI7+            RE#m/LA#        SOL#m
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
                     MI7+
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
        FA#
So when I have a shitty day, 
        SI7+             RE#m/LA#
I drift away and put 'em on
         SOL#m                 
'Cause I don't really got shit else so that 
     MI7+
shit helps when I'm depressed
FAm7/5-                     MI7+     
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
SOL#m                          MI7+
Sometimes I even cut myself to see 

how much it bleeds
           FA#   
It's like adrenaline, 
                     SI7+          RE#m/LA#
the pain is such a sudden rush for me
        SOL#m
See everything you say is real, 
      MI7+
and I respect you 'cause you tell it
FA#                                SI7+        RE#m/LA#
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
SOL#m
But she don't know you 
                MI7+
like I know you Slim, no one does
FA#              
She don't know what it was 
                SI7+            RE#m/LA#
like for people like us growing up
          SOL#m
You gotta call me man, 
                    MI
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
          FAm7/4-
Sincerely yours, Stan
     MI                         SOL#m
P.S. we should be together, too

              MI7+    
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering

This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
          SOL#m
It's been six months and still no word 
      MI
I don't deserve it?
               FA#
I know you got my last two letters
             SI              RE#m/LA#
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
SOL#m                              MI
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, 

I hope you hear it
FA#

I'm doing 90 on the freeway
SOL#m                        MI
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, 
                 FAm7/5-
you dare me to drive?
                     MI                               
You know the song by Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"
 SOL#m                        MI7+
About that guy who could've saved 

that other guy from drowning
FA#                           SI7+
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, 
               RE#m/LA#
then at a show he found him?
SOL#m 
That's kinda how this is, 
         MI7+
you could've rescued me from drowning
    FA#
Now it's too late 
             SI7+             RE#m/LA#
I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
SOL#m                     MI7+
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
FA#      
I hope you know I ripped all 
        SI7+             RE#m/LA#
of your pictures off the wall
SOL#m                           MI7+
 I loved you, Slim, we could've been together, 
            FAm7/5-
think about it

You ruined it now, 
       MI7+                           SOL#m
I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
                              MI7+
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep 
                     FA#
and you scream about it
                       SI7+
I hope your conscience eats at you 
              RE#m/LA#        SOL#m
and you can't breathe without me
           MI7+
See, Slim,—shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
FA#                             SI7+             RE#m/LA#
Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk,
             SOL#m
But I didn't slit her throat, 
       MI7+
I just tied her up See, I ain't like you
FA#                                    SI7+
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, 
           RE#m/LA#     SOL#m  
and then she'll die, too
              MI7+
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
FAm7/5-

     SOL#m                      MI7+
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner 

but I've just been busy
FA#                                   SI7+
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, 
         RE#m/LA#

SOL#m                                 MI7+

your daughter that
              FA#
And here's an autograph for your brother
SI7+               RE#m/LA#

 I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, 
                 FA#
I must've missed you
                            SI7+

RE#m/LA#      SOL#m
just to diss you
                               MI7+
But what's this shit you said about you

C'mon! How fucked up is you?

You got some issues, Stan, 
MI7+    
I think you need some counseling
FA#                                   SI7+
 To help your ass from bouncing off the walls 
             RE#m/LA#  SOL#m
when you get down some
                              MI7+
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
FA#                              SI7+
That type of shit'll make me not want us 
             RE#m/LA# SOL#m
to meet each other
                            MI7+
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
FA#                                 SI7+
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
RE#m/LA#          SOL#m
I hope you get to read this letter, 
               MI7+
I just hope it reaches you in time
           FAm7/5-
Before you hurt yourself, 
                       MI
I think that you'll be doing just fine
         SOL#m
If you relax a little, 
           MI7+
I'm glad I inspire you but, Stan
FA#                             SI7+
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, 
               RE#m/LA# SOL#m
that I do want you as a fan
                         MI7+
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
            FA#                           SI7+
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago 
RE#m/LA#         SOL#m
that made me sick
                                MI7+
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
            FA#
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, 
        SI7+                  RE#m/LA#
and she was pregnant with his kid
           SOL#m
And in the car they found a tape, 
           MI7+
but they didn't say who it was to
               FAm7/5-             MI
Come to think about it, his name was... it was you
SOL#m
