Tonality
Chorus:
EmCD
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wonderinʼ why
GDEm
Got out of bed at all
CD
The morning rain clouds up my window
GDEm
And I canʼt see at all
CD
And even if I could itʼll all be gray
GDEm
But your picture on my wall
CD
It reminds me that itʼs not so bad
GDEm
Itʼs not so bad
EmCD
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wonderinʼ why
GDEm
Got out of bed at all
CD
The morning rain clouds up my window
GDEm
And I canʼt see at all
CD
And even if I could itʼll all be gray
GDEm
But your picture on my wall
CD
It reminds me that itʼs not so bad
C
Itʼs not so bad
Verse:
EmCD
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ainʼt callin
GDEm
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
CD
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got ʼem
GD
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethinʼ
EmCD
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot ʼem
GDEm
But anyway, whatʼs been up man, howʼs your daughter?
C
My girlfriendʼs pregnant too, Iʼm bout to be a father
DC
If I have a daughter, guess what Iʼm a call her
Em
Iʼm a name her Bonnie
C
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, Iʼm sorry
DGDEm
I had a friend kill himself over some b**** who didnʼt want him
CD
I know you probably hear this every day, but Iʼm your biggest fan
GDEm
I even got that underground s*** that you did with Skam
CD
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
GDEm
I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too, that s*** was phat
C
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back
DC
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
Chorus:
EmCD
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wonderinʼ why
GDEm
Got out of bed at all
CD
The morning rain clouds up my window
GDEm
And I canʼt see at all

GDEm
Itʼs not so bad
Verse:
EmC
Dear Slim, you still ainʼt called or wrote,
I hope you have a chance,
DG
I ainʼt mad, I think itʼs just f***** up
Em
that you donʼt answer fans
C
If you didnʼt wanna talk to me outside your concert
D
You didnʼt have to, but you couldʼve signed
GD
an autograph for Matthew
EmC
Thatʼs my little brother man, heʼs only six years old
D
We waited in the blistering cold for you
GDEm
For four hours and you just said no
C
Thatʼs pretty s****y man, youʼre like his f***ing idol
DCEm
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
C
I ainʼt that mad though, I just donʼt like being lied to
CGD
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
EmC
You would write back, see Iʼm just like you in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
GDEm
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
C
I can relate to what youʼre saying in your songs
DGD
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on
EmC
Cause I donʼt really got s*** else, so that s*** helps
when Iʼm depressed
DC
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
EmC
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
DGD
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
EmC
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
DGD
My girlfriendʼs jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
EmC
But she donʼt know you like I know you slim, no one does
DGD
She donʼt know what it was like for people like us growinʼ up
EmC
You gotta call me man, Iʼll be the biggest fan youʼll ever lose
D
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.
C
We should be together too
Chorus:
EmCD
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wonderinʼ why
GDEm
Got out of bed at all
CD
The morning rain clouds up my window
GDEm
And I canʼt see at all
CD
And even if I could itʼll all be gray
GDEm
But your picture on my wall
CD
It reminds me that itʼs not so bad
C
Itʼs not so bad
Verse:
EmCD
Dear Mr Iʼm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans
GD
Thisʼll be the last package I ever send your a**
Em
Itʼs been six months and still no words
C
I donʼt deserve it
D
I know you got my last two letters
GD
I wrote the addresses on them perfect
EmC
So this is my cassette Iʼm sending you, I hope you hear it
DGD
Iʼm in the car right now, Iʼm doinʼ 90 on the freeway
EmCD
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?
C
You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night
EmC
About that guy who couldʼve saved that other guy from drowning
DGD
But didnʼt, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
EmC
Thatʼs kinda how this is, you couldʼve rescued me from drowning
DGD
Now itʼs too late, Iʼm on a 1,000 downers now, Iʼm drowsy
EmC
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
DGD
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
EmCD
I love you Slim, we couldʼve been together, think about it
CEm
You ruined it now, I hope you canʼt sleep and you dream about it
C
And when you dream, I hope you canʼt sleep and you scream about it
DGDEm
I hope your conscience eats at you and you canʼt breathe without me
C
See Slim, shut up b****, Iʼm trying to talk
DGD
Hey Slim, thatʼs my girlfriend screaminʼ in the trunk
EmC
But I didnʼt slit her throat, I just tied her up,
see I ainʼt like you
DGDEm
Cause if she suffocates, sheʼll suffer more, then sheʼll die too
CD
Well, gotta go, Iʼm almost under the bridge now
C
Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s*** out?
EmCDC x2
Chorus:
EmCD
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wonderinʼ why
GDEm
Got out of bed at all
CD
The morning rain clouds up my window
GDEm
And I canʼt see at all

And even if I could itʼll all be gray
GDEm
But your picture on my wall
CD

Itʼs not so bad
Verse:
EmC
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but Iʼve just been busy
DGD
You say your girlfriendʼs pregnant now, how far along is she?
EmC
Look, Iʼm really flattered you would call your daughter that
D
And hereʼs an autograph for your brother
GDEm
I wrote it on this Starter cap
C
Iʼm sorry I didnʼt see you at the show, I mustʼve missed you
DGDEm
Donʼt think I did that s*** intentionally just to dis you
CD
But whatʼs that s*** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
D
I say that s*** just clowninʼ dog
Em
Cʼmon, how f***ed up is you?
C
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
DGDEm
To keep your a** from bouncinʼ off the walls when you get down some
C
And whatʼs this s*** about us meant to be together?
DGDEm
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other
C
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
DG
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
DEmC
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
DC
Before you hurt yourself, I think that youʼll be doin just fine
EmC
If you relax a little, Iʼm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
DGDEm
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
C
I just donʼt want you to do some crazy s***
DG
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago
DEm
that made me sick
C
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
DG
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant
D
with his kid
EmC
And in the car they found a tape, didnʼt say who it was to
DCEm
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...
Outro:
Em
Damn
