[Abm] Please [Ab] don't [Gbm] call, I'm wondering [Gb] why
I'm [B]
not up at [Abm] all
The morning rain close up [Gb] my window
[B] And I can't see [Abm] at all
Even if I could, it'd [Gb] all be great
[B] Put your picture on my [Abm] wall
Wait for my hands to give
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Please [E] don't call, I'm [Gb] wondering why
I'm not up at [Abm] all
The morning rain close up my [Gb] window
And I can't see [Abm] at all
Even if I could, it'd [Gb] all be great
Put your picture on my [Abm] wall
Wait for my hands to give
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Dear Slim, [E] I wrote you but you still ain't calling
[Gb] I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
[Abm] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not have got them
[Gb] There probably was a problem at the post office or something
[Abm] Sometimes I scribble addresses [E] too sloppy when I jot them
[Gb] But anyways, fuck it, what's been up man, how's your daughter?
[Abm] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm [E] about to be a father
If I [Abm] have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your [E] Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
[Gb] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[Abm] I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest [Gb] fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with [Abm] Scam
I got a room full of your posters [E] and your pictures [Gb] man
I like the shit you did with Rockets too, that shit was [Abm] fat
Anyways, I hope you [E] get this man, shit be back
Just a chat, who's yours?
Your biggest fan, [Abm] it's a stan
She's [E] no cool, [Gb]
[Abm]
[Gb] [B] I [Ebm] can't see [Abm] at all
She's riding a good little [Gb] car, I'm great
But the picture on my [Abm] page reminds me
That it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Dear Slim, you still ain't [E] called or wrote
I hope you have a [Gb] chance, I ain't mad
I just think it's fucked up you don't answer [Abm] fans
If you didn't want to talk to [E] me outside the concert, [Gb] you didn't have to
But you could've signed an autograph for Matthew, [Abm] that's my little brother man
[E] He's only six years old, we [Gb] waited in the blistering cold for you
For four hours and he just [Abm] said no
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fucking idol
[Bbm] He wants to be just like you [E] man, he likes you more than [Ab] I do
I ain't that mad [E] though, I just don't like being lied [Gb] to
Remember when we met in Denver?
You said if I write [Abm] you, you would write back
See I'm [E] just like you in a way
I never [Gb] knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and [Abm] beat her
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
[Gb] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put up on
[Abm] Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the desk
Sometimes I even cut myself to [E] see how much it bleeds
[Gb] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[Abm] See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
[Gb] My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24 [Abm]-7
But she don't know you like I [E] know you Slim, no one does
[Gb] She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up
You gotta [Ab] call me man, I'll be the [E] biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely [Bbm] yours, Stan, P [E].S. we should be together too
[Abm] She's [E] so cool and we're [Gb]
[Abm]
[Gb]
sexy [Abm] though
She run and rock her [Gb] little off-key grand
But you make her all my [Abm] shit for my own team
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Dear [A] mister, I'm too good to call or write [Gbm] my man
This'll be the last [B] package [Bb] I ever send your ass
[Fm] It's been six months, it's still no word, [E] I don't deserve it
[Gb] I know you got my last two letters, [E] I wrote the address [Bb] on them perfect
[Ab] So this is my [E] cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear [Gb] it
I'm in the car [B] right now, I'm doing 90 [Bb] on the [E] freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you share me the drive?
[Fm] You know the song by Bill [E]
Collins from the air of the night
About that guy who could've saved that other guy from [Gb] drowning
But didn't, then Bill saw it all, then at his show he found [E] him
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning
[Gb] Now it's too late, I'm on [B] a thousand [Gb] downers now, I'm [Abm] drowsy
And all I wanted was [E] a lousy letter of a [Gb] call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the [Abm] wall
I love you [E] Slim, we could've been together, think about it
You're ruined now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream [Gb] about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe [Abm] without me
See [E] Slim, shut up bitch, I'm trying to [Gb] talk
Hey Slim, that's [B] my girlfriend screaming in the trunk
[E] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like [Gb] you
Cause if she suffocates, [B] she'll suffer more, and then [Bb] she'll [Abm] die too
Well, gotta [E] go, I'm almost at the bridge [Bb] now
Oh [N] shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
[E]
[N] So [E]
[Abm] [E] cold and warm, but [Gb] I got hot
[Abm] The morning rain don't touch [Gb] my windows
[Ebm] Slim, I can't see [Abm] at all
See [E] by that pocket [Gb] it'll all be gray
Put the picture on [Abm] my wall
If [E] grandma makes [Abm] shit, but it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy
[Gb] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is [Abm] she?
Look, I'm real [E] splattered to record your daughter that
[Ebm] And here's an autograph for your brother, I wrote it on starter [Abm] cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I [Gb] must've missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just [Abm] to diss you
But what's the shit you said [E] about you'd like to cut [Ab] your wrist too?
I say that shit just [E] clowning dawg, come on, how fucked [Abm] up is she?
You got some issues Stan, [E] I think you need some [Gb] counselling
To help your ass with bouncing off the walls when you get [Abm] down some
And what's this shit [E] about us meant to be together?
[Gb] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
[Abm] I really think [E] you and your girlfriend need each other
[Gb] But maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope [Abm] you get to read this letter
I just hope you read this during time before [Bb] you hurt yourself
I [E] think that you'll be doing [Abm] just fine if you relax a little
I'm glad I inspire you, but [Gb] Stan, why are you so mad?
Try to understand that I do want [Abm] you as a fan
I just don't want you [E] to do some crazy shit
[Gb] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made [Abm] me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[Gb] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his [Abm] kid
And in the car they found a chase, [E] but they didn't say who it was to
[Abm] Come to think about it, [E] his name was
It was you [N] Damn
