[Abm] I sent two letters back in autumn.
You must not have got them.
[Gb] There.

[E] too sloppy when I jot [Gb] them.
But anyways, what's been up, man?.
How's your daughter?.
[Abm] My girlfriend's pregnant too.
[E] I'm about to be a father.
[Abm] If I have a daughter, guess what.

[Gb] I.
had to friend himself over some who didn't want [Abm] him.
I know you probably hear [E] this every.
day, but I'm your biggest [Gb] fan.
I even got the underground that you did with [Abm] Scam.
I.
got a room [E] full of your posters and your pictures, [Gb] man.
I like what you did with Rockets too,.
that was [Abm] fat.
Anyways, I hope you [E] get this, man.

If you didn't want to talk to me outside the [Gb] concert, you.
didn't have to.
You could've signed an autograph for [Abm] Matthew.
That's my little brother, man.
[E] He's only six years old.
We [Gb] waited in the blistering cold for you.
Four hours, and he.
just [Abm] said no.
That's pretty, man.
You're like an [Bbm] idol.
He wants to be just like [E] you,.
man.
He likes you more [Ab] than 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, [E] I'm just like you in a way.
I [Gb] never knew my father neither.
He used to always cheat.
on my mom [Abm] and beat her.
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs, [Gb] so when I have.
a day, I drift away and put them on, [Abm] because I don't really got the hell, so that helps.
when I'm depressed.
I even got a [E] tattoo of your name across the desk.
[Abm] Sometimes I even.
strip [E] myself to see how much it's [Gb] like adrenaline.
The pain is such a sudden rush for me.
[Abm] See,.
everything you say is real, [E] and I respect you because you tell [Gb] it.
My girlfriend's jealous.
because I talk about you 24 [Abm]-7, but she don't know you like I know you slim.
No one [Gb] does.
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
[E] You gotta call me, man.
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
Sincerely, yours, Stan.

I'm too good to call [Gb] or write my fan.
This'll be the last [G] package I [C] ever send.
your ass.
[Fm] Been six months, still no [E] word.
I don't deserve it.
[N] I know you got my last.
two letters.
I wrote the addresses on them perfect.
So this is my cassette [E] I'm sending.
you.
I hope you hear [Gb] it.
I'm in the car [B] right now.
I'm doing [Bb] 90 on the [Abm] freeway.
Hey, Slim,.
I'd give it [E] a.
Shamini [Gm] Drive?.
You know the song by Bill [B] Collins?.
The Air of [E] the Night about that guy?.
It could.
have said that other guy was [Gb] drowning, but didn't.
Then Bill saw it all, then at a show.
he found [Abm] him.
That's kinda how [E] this is.
You could have rescued me from [Gb] drowning.
Now it's.
too late.
I'm on a thousand [Bb].
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 [E] you, Slim.
We could have.
been together.
Think about it.
You're ruined now.
I hope you can't sleep and you [Abm] dream.
about it.
And when you dream, [E] I hope you can't sleep and you [Gb] scream about it.
I hope.
your conscience eats at you when you can't breathe [Abm] without me.
See, Slim?.
[E] I'm trying.
to [Ebm] talk.
Hey, Slim, that's [B] my girlfriend.
[Ebm] .
[Abm] But I didn't.
I [E] .
ain't like [Gb] you.
Cause if.
she.
suffer more, [Ebm] then this [Ab] will.
too.
Well, gotta [A] go.
I'm almost at the [Db] bridge now.
Oh, I forgot.
[E] I must focus in [Ab] this.

Diva and that girl.
[Gb] Great, but this picture on [Abm] my wall.
Take a look.
.
See that it's not so bad.
It's not so bad.
Dear Stan, I meant to [E] write you sooner, but I've just been busy.
[Ebm] Said your girlfriend's.
pregnant now.
How far along is [Abm] she?.
Look, I'm really [E] flattered to record your daughter.
[Abm] that.
[Ebm] And here's an autograph for your [B] brother.
I [Bb] wrote it on the [Abm] starter cap.
I'm sorry I.
didn't see you at the show.
I must [Gb] have missed you.
Don't think I did that intentionally.
just [Abm] to diss you.
But what she said about you like that she's your is [Bb] too.
I say that.
she's [E] just clowning, dawg.
Come on, [Abm] she's just bitching.
You got some issues, Stan.
I think you need some [Gb] counseling to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get.
[Abm] down some.
And [E] what .
[Ebm] that's like. to 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 [E] just hope it reaches you in time [F] before you hurt.
yourself.
I [E] think that you'll be doing [Abm] just fine if you relax a little.
I'm glad I inspired.
you, but Stan, [Gb] why are you so mad?.
You probably understand that I do want [Abm] you as a fan.
I.
just don't want you to do some crazy.
[Gb] I seen this one on the news a couple weeks ago that.
made [Abm] me sick.
Some dude was [E] drunk and drove his car over a [Gb] bridge.
.
[Abm] And in the car they.
found a tape, but it didn't say who it was to.
Come to think about it, [E] his name was.
it was you.

Dear Stan, I meant to [E] write you sooner, but I've just been busy.
[Ebm] Said your girlfriend's.
pregnant now.
How far along is [Abm] she?.
Look, I'm really [E] flattered to record your daughter.
[Abm] that.
[Ebm] And here's an autograph for your [B] brother.
I [Bb] wrote it on the [Abm] starter cap.
I'm sorry I.
didn't see you at the show.
I must [Gb] have missed you.
Don't think I did that intentionally.
just [Abm] to diss you.
But what she said about you like that she's your is [Bb] too.
I say that.
she's [E] just clowning, dawg.
Come on, [Abm] she's just bitching.
You got some issues, Stan.
I think you need some [Gb] counseling to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get.
[Abm] down some.
And [E] what_ _ _ .
_ [Ebm] that's like_. to 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 [E] just hope it reaches you in time [F] before you hurt.
yourself.
I [E] think that you'll be doing [Abm] just fine if you relax a little.
I'm glad I inspired.
you, but Stan, [Gb] why are you so mad?.
You probably understand that I do want [Abm] you as a fan.
I.
just don't want you to do some crazy.
[Gb] I seen this one on the news a couple weeks ago that.
made [Abm] me sick.
Some dude was [E] drunk and drove his car over a [Gb] bridge.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
[Abm] And in the car they.
found a tape, but it didn't say who it was to.
Come to think about it, [E] his name was_.

_ _ _ _ [E] I wrote you, but you still ain't calling.
[Gb] I left myself, 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 address.
[E] too sloppy when I jot [Gb] them.
But anyways, what's been up, man?.
How's your daughter?.
[Abm] My girlfriend's pregnant too.
[E] I'm about to be a father.
[Abm] If I have a daughter, guess what.
I'ma call [E] her?.
I'ma name her Bonnie.
_ I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry.
[Gb] I.
had to friend himself over some who didn't want [Abm] him.
I know you probably hear [E] this every.
day, but I'm your biggest [Gb] fan.
I even got the underground that you did with [Abm] Scam.
I.
got a room [E] full of your posters and your pictures, [Gb] man.
I like what you did with Rockets too,.
that was [Abm] fat.
Anyways, I hope you [E] get this, man.
Hit me [Bbm] back, just a chat.
Over [E] yours,.
your biggest fan, this [Abm] is Stan.
_ _ _ [E] _ Dear _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ .
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Slim, you still ain't [E] called or wrote.
I hope you have a [Gb] chance.
I ain't mad.
I just.
think you don't answer [Abm] fans.
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the [Gb] concert, you.
didn't have to.
You could've signed an autograph for [Abm] Matthew.
That's my little brother, man.
[E] He's only six years old.
We [Gb] waited in the blistering cold for you.
Four hours, and he.
just [Abm] said no.
That's pretty, man.
You're like an [Bbm] idol.
He wants to be just like [E] you,.
man.
He likes you more [Ab] than 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, [E] I'm just like you in a way.
I [Gb] never knew my father neither.
He used to always cheat.
on my mom [Abm] and beat her.
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs, [Gb] so when I have.
a day, I drift away and put them on, [Abm] because I don't really got the hell, so that helps.
when I'm depressed.
I even got a [E] tattoo of your name across the desk.
[Abm] Sometimes I even.
strip [E] myself to see how much it's [Gb] like adrenaline.
The pain is such a sudden rush for me.
[Abm] See,.
everything you say is real, [E] and I respect you because you tell [Gb] it.
My girlfriend's jealous.
because I talk about you 24 [Abm]-7, but she don't know you like I know you slim.
No one [Gb] does.
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
[E] You gotta call me, man.
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
Sincerely, yours, Stan.
P.
S.
, we should be _ .
[Abm] together too.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ .
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ .
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ Can't see [Abm] it at all.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ .
H-E-L-L-E-S.
That's _ _ [Db] _ okay.
_ _ [E] Dear Mr.
,.
I'm too good to call [Gb] or write my fan.
This'll be the last [G] package I [C] ever send.
your ass.
[Fm] Been six months, still no [E] word.
I don't deserve it.
[N] I know you got my last.
two letters.
I wrote the addresses on them perfect.
So this is my cassette [E] I'm sending.
you.
I hope you hear [Gb] it.
I'm in the car [B] right now.
I'm doing [Bb] 90 on the [Abm] freeway.
Hey, Slim,.
I'd give it [E] a_.
Shamini [Gm] Drive?.
You know the song by Bill [B] Collins?.
The Air of [E] the Night about that guy?.
It could.
have said that other guy was [Gb] drowning, but didn't.
Then Bill saw it all, then at a show.
he found [Abm] him.
That's kinda how [E] this is.
You could have rescued me from [Gb] drowning.
Now it's.
too late.
I'm on a thousand [Bb].
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 [E] you, Slim.
We could have.
been together.
Think about it.
You're ruined now.
I hope you can't sleep and you [Abm] dream.
about it.
And when you dream, [E] I hope you can't sleep and you [Gb] scream about it.
I hope.
your conscience eats at you when you can't breathe [Abm] without me.
See, Slim?.
[E] _ I'm trying.
to [Ebm] talk.
Hey, Slim, that's [B] my girlfriend.
_ [Ebm] _ .
[Abm] But I didn't_.
I [E] _ _ .
ain't like [Gb] you.
Cause if.
she_.
suffer more, [Ebm] then this [Ab] will_.
too.
Well, gotta [A] go.
I'm almost at the [Db] bridge now.
Oh, I forgot.
[E] I must focus in [Ab] this_.
