[Chorus]
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C A/C#
It reminds me that it's not so bad
G D Em
It's not so bad
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C A/C#
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C
It's not so bad
[Verse 1]
Em C
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't
D
callin
G
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone
D Em
at the bottom
C
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must
D
not have got 'em
G
There probably was a problem with the post
D
office or somethin'
Em C
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy
D
when I jot 'em
G
But anyway, what's been up man, how's your
D Em
daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to
C
be a father
A/C#
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call
C
her
Em
I'm a name her Bonnie
C
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm
sorry
D G
I had a friend kill himself over some b****
D Em
who didn't want him
C
I know you probably hear this every day,
D
but I'm your biggest fan
G
I even got that underground s*** that you
D Em
did with Skam
C
I got a room full of your posters and your
D
pictures man
G
I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too,
D Em
that s*** was phat
C
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me
back
A/C# C
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest
fan, this is Stan
[Chorus]
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C A/C#
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C Em
It's not so bad
[Verse 2]
Em C
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote,
I hope you have a chance,
D G
I ain't mad, I think it's just f***** up
Em
that you don't answer fans
C
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your
concert
D
You didn't have to, but you could've signed
G D
an autograph for Matthew
Em C
That's my little brother man, he's only six
years old
D
We waited in the blistering cold for you
G D Em
For four hours and you just said no
C
That's pretty s****y man, you're like his
f***ing idol
A/C# C
He wants to be just like you man, he likes
Em
you more than I do
C
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like
being lied to
D G
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if
D
I write you
Em C
You would write back, see I'm just like you
in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
G D
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat
Em
her
C
I can relate to what you're saying in your
songs
D G
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away
D
and put em on
Em
Cause I don't really got s*** else, so that
C
s*** helps when I'm depressed
A/C# C
I even got a tattoo of your name across the
chest
Em C
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much
it bleeds
D G
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a
D
sudden rush for me
Em
See everthing you say is real, and I
C
respect you cause you tell it
D G
My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk
D
about you 24/7
Em
But she don't know you like I know you
C
slim, no one does
D G
She don't know what it was like for people
D
like us growin' up
Em
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest
C
fan you'll ever lose
A/C#
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.
C
We should be together too
[Chorus]
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C A/C#
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C
It's not so bad
[Verse 3]
Em
Dear Mr
I'm-Too-
Good-To-
C
Call-Or-
Write-My
D
-Fans
G
This'll be the last package I ever send
D
your a**
Em
It's been six months and still no words
C
I don't deserve it
D
I know you got my last two letters
G D
I wrote the addresses on them perfect
Em C
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I
hope you hear it
D G
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on
D
the freeway
Em C
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me
A/C#
to drive?
C
You know that song by Phil Collins, In the
Air of the Night
Em
About that guy who could've saved that
C
other guy from drowning
D G
But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a
D
show he found him
Em
That's kinda how this is, you could've
C
rescued me from drowning
D G
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers
D
now, I'm drowsy
Em C
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a
call
D
I hope you know I ripped all of your
G D
pictures off my wall
Em C
I love you Slim, we could've been together,
A/C#
think about it
C
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep
Em
and you dream about it
C
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep
and you scream about it
D G
I hope your conscience eats at you and you
D Em
can't breathe without me
C
See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk
D G
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in
D
the trunk
Em
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied
C
her up, see I ain't like you
D
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer
G D Em
more, then she'll die too
C
Well, gotta go, I'm almost under the bridge
A/C#
now
C
Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to
send this s*** out?
[Instrumental] x2
Em C A/C# C
[Chorus]
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C A/C#
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C
It's not so bad
[Verse 4]
Em C
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but
I've just been busy
D G
You say your girlfriend's pregnant now, how
D
far along is she?
Em C
Look, I'm really flattered you would call
your daughter that
D
And here's an autograph for your brother
G D Em
I wrote it on this Starter cap
C
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I
must've missed you
D G
Don't think I did that s*** intentionally
D Em
just to dis you
C
But what's that s*** you said about you
A/C#
like to cut your wrists too?
C
I say that s*** just clownin' dog
Em
C'mon, how f***ed up is you?
C
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need
some counseling
D
To keep your a** from bouncin' off the
G D Em
walls when you get down some
C
And what's this s*** about us meant to be
together?
D G
That type of s*** will make me not want us
D Em
to meet each other
C
I really think you and your girlfriend need
each other
D G
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
D Em
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope
C
it reaches you in time
A/C#
Before you hurt yourself, I think that
C
you'll be doin just fine
Em
If you relax a little, I'm glad that I
C
inspire you, but Stan
D G
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that
D Em
I do want you as a fan
C
I just don't want you to do some crazy s***
D
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple
G D Em
of weeks ago that made me sick
C
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over
a bridge
D
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she
G D
was pregnant with his kid
Em
And in the car they found a tape, didn't
C
say who it was to
A/C# C
Come to think about it, his name was, it
Em
was you...
[Ending]
Em
Damn
