I'm cold and [Cm] wondering [F] why I [C] got out of bed [Gm] at all.
The morning [Eb] rain closed up [G] my window.
I can't see [Gm] at all.
Even if I [C] could, it'd [G] all be gray.
But your picture on my wall, [Gm]
it reminds me that it's not [N] so bad.
It's not so bad.

Dear mister, I'm too good to call or write my [F] fans.
This will be the last [Bbm] package I ever [Am] send your ass.
[G] Been six months, still no word.
[Eb] I don't deserve it.
I know [F] you got my last two letters.
I [Eb] wrote the address [A] on them perfect.
[G] So this is my cassette [Eb] I'm sending you.
I hope you hear [F] it.
I'm in the car right now.
[Bb] I'm doing 90 [A] on the [G] freeway.
Hey, Slim, I drank [Eb] a fifth of vodka.
You dare me [E] to drive?
You know the song [Eb] by Phil Collins from the Air of the Night?
About that guy [Eb] who could've saved that other guy from [F] drowning, but didn't?
Then Phil saw [Bb] it all, then at [Am] his show he found [Gm] him.
That's kinda how this is.
[Eb] You could've rescued me from drowning.
[F] Now it's too late.
I'm on [Bb] a thousand [A] downers now.
I'm [Gm] drowning.
And all I wanted was [Eb] a lousy letter of a [F] call.
I hope you know I ripped [Bbm] all of your pictures [F] off the [Gm] wall.
I love you, [Eb] Slim.
We could've been together.
Think [E] about it.
You're ruined now.
[Eb] I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it.
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream [F] about it.
I hope your conscience [Bb] eats at you [F] when you can't breathe [Gm] without me.
See, Slim?
[Eb] Shut up, bitch.
I'm trying to [F] talk.
Hey, Slim, that's [Eb] my girlfriend [Am] screaming in the trunk, [Gm] but I didn't slit her throat.
I [Eb] just tied her up.
See, I ain't like [F] you.
Cause if she suffocates, [Bb] she'll suffer more.
[A] Then she'll [G] die too.
Well, gotta [Eb] go.
I'm almost at the bridge [E] now.
Oh, shit.

[Eb] [Gm] Dear Slim, I meant to write [Eb] you sooner, but I've just been busy.
[F] Said your girlfriend's pregnant [Bb] now.
How [F] far along is [Gm] she?
Look, I'm really [Eb] flattered to record your daughter that.
[F] And here's an autograph for your [Bbm] brother.
I [D] wrote it on [Gm] starter cap.
I'm sorry I [Eb] didn't see you at the show.
I [F] must've missed it.
Don't think I did [Bb] that shit [F] intentionally.
Just [Gm] a dishes.
But what's the shit [Eb] you said about us you'd like to cut [Em] your wrist too?
I say that shit's [Eb] just clowning, dawg.
Come on.
How fucked [Gm] up is she?
You got some issues, Dan.
I think you need some [F] counseling.
To help your ass from [Bb] bouncing off the walls [Am] when you be down [Gm] some.
And what's this shit [Eb] about us meant to be together?
[F] That type of shit'll make [Bb] me not want us [F] to meet each other.
[Gm] I really think [Eb] you and your girlfriend need each [F] other.
But maybe you just need [Bb] to treat her better.
[F] I hope [G] you get to read this letter.
I [Eb] just hope it reaches you in time [Em] before you hurt yourself.
I [Eb] think that you'll be doing just fine if you relax a little.
I'm glad I inspire you, but, Dan, [F] why are you so mad?
[Bb] Try to understand [F] that I do want [Gm] you as a fan.
I just don't [Eb] want you to do some crazy shit.
[F] I seen this one shit on the [Bb] news a couple weeks [A] ago that made [Gm] me sick.
Some dude was [Eb] drunk and drove his car over a [F] bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk.
[Bb] And she was [F] pregnant with his [Gm] kid and in the car they found a tape.
[Eb] But they didn't say who it was to.
[E] Come to think about it, [Eb] his name was
It was you.

[F] And here's an autograph for your [Bbm] brother.
I [D] wrote it on [Gm] starter cap.
I'm sorry I [Eb] didn't see you at the show.
I [F] must've missed it.
Don't think I did [Bb] that shit [F] intentionally.
Just [Gm] a dishes.
But what's the shit [Eb] you said about us you'd like to cut [Em] your wrist too?
I say that shit's [Eb] just clowning, dawg.
Come on.
How fucked [Gm] up is she?
You got some issues, Dan.
I think you need some [F] counseling.
To help your ass from [Bb] bouncing off the walls [Am] when you be down [Gm] some.
And what's this shit [Eb] about us meant to be together?
[F] That type of shit'll make [Bb] me not want us [F] to meet each other.
[Gm] _ I really think [Eb] you and your girlfriend need each [F] other.
But maybe you just need [Bb] to treat her better.
[F] I hope [G] you get to read this letter.
I [Eb] just hope it reaches you in time [Em] before you hurt yourself.
I [Eb] think that you'll be doing just fine if you relax a little.
I'm glad I inspire you, but, Dan, [F] why are you so mad?
[Bb] Try to understand [F] that I do want [Gm] you as a fan.
I just don't [Eb] want you to do some crazy shit.
[F] I seen this one shit on the [Bb] news a couple weeks [A] ago that made [Gm] me sick.
Some dude was [Eb] drunk and drove his car over a [F] bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk.
[Bb] And she was [F] pregnant with his [Gm] kid and in the car they found a tape.
[Eb] But they didn't say who it was to.
[E] Come to think about it, [Eb] his name was_
It was you.
[Gm] _ [N] Damn.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm cold and [Cm] wondering [F] why I [C] got out of bed [Gm] at all.
The morning [Eb] rain closed up [G] my _ window.
_ I can't see [Gm] at all.
Even if I [C] could, it'd [G] all be gray.
But your picture on my wall, [Gm]
it reminds me that it's not [N] so bad.
It's not so bad.
[Gm] _ _ _
[Eb] I'm cold and wondering [F] why I [Bb] got out [F] of bed [Gm] at all.
The morning [Eb] rain closed up my [F] window. _
_ [Bb] I can't see [Gm] at all.
Even [Eb] if I could, [F] it'd all be gray.
But [Bbm] your picture [F] on my [G] wall, it _ [Eb] reminds me [Em] that it's not so bad.
[Eb] It's not so [Gm] bad.
_ Dear Kim, I [Eb] wrote you but you still ain't calling.
[F] I left my cell, my pager, [Bb] and my home [Dm] phone at the bottom.
[Gm] I sent two letters back [Eb] in autumn.
You must not have got them.
[F] There probably was a problem [Bb] in the post [F] office or something.
[Gm] Sometimes I scribble [Eb] addresses too sloppy when I jot them.
[F] But anyways, fuck it.
What's been up, man?
How's your daughter?
[Gm] My girlfriend's pregnant too.
[Eb] I'm about to be a father.
If I [Em] have a daughter, guess what I'ma [Eb] call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie.
_ I read about your [Eb] Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry.
[F] I had a friend kill himself [Bb] over some bitch [A] who didn't want him.
[G] I know you probably hear this [Eb] every day, but I'm your biggest [F] fan.
I even got the [Bb] underground shit [A] that you did with [Gm] Scam.
I got a room [Eb] full of your posters and your pictures, [F] man.
I like the shit you [Bb] did with Rockets [A] too, that shit was [Gm] bad. _
Anyways, I [Eb] hope you get this, man.
Hit me [Em] back, just a chat.
Over [Eb] yours, your biggest fan.
This is [Gm] Stan. _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
Dear [Eb] Arlene, _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] you're the best _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ you can be, [Em] but it's not so bad.
[E] [Eb] It's not so bad.
[Gm] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote.
I hope you have a [F] chance.
I ain't mad.
I just [Bb] think it's fucked [F] up you don't answer [Gm] fans.
If you didn't want to [Eb] talk to me outside the concert, [F] you didn't have to.
If you [Bb] could've signed an [F] autograph for Matthew, [Gm] that's my little brother, man.
[Eb] He's only six years old.
We [F] waited in the blistering cold for you.
[Bb] Four [F] hours, you just [Gm] said no.
That's pretty shitty, [Eb] man.
You're like his fucking idol.
[Em] He wants to be just like you, [Eb] man.
He likes you more than I do.
[G] I ain't that mad, [Eb] though.
I just don't like being lied [F] to.
Remember when we met in [Bb] Denver?
You [F] said if I write [Gm] you, you would write back.
See, I'm [Eb] just like you in a way.
I never [F] knew my father neither.
He [Bb] used to always [F] cheat on my mom [Gm] and beat her.
I can relate [Eb] to what you're saying in your songs.
[F] So when I have a shitty day, [Bb] I drift away [F] and put up on.
[Gm] Cause I don't really got shit else, so [Eb] that shit helps when I'm depressed.
[Em] I even got a tattoo [Eb] of your name across the chest.
[Gm] Sometimes I even cut [Eb] myself to see how much it bleeds.
[F] Like adrenaline, the pain [Bb] is such a sudden [F] rush for me.
[Gm] See, everything you say is real, [Eb] and I respect you cause you tell it.
[F] My girlfriend's jealous cause I [Bbm] talk about you [F] 24 [Eb]-7.
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim.
No one does.
[F] She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
You [G] gotta call me, man.
I'll be [Eb] the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
[E] Sincerely, yours, Stan.
P [Eb].S. We should be together, too.

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ T [Em]-L-O.
It's not so bad.
[Eb] It's not so bad.
Dear mister, I'm too good to call or write my [F] fans.
This will be the last [Bbm] package I ever [Am] send your ass.
[G] Been six months, still no word.
[Eb] I don't deserve it.
I know [F] you got my last two letters.
I [Eb] wrote the address [A] on them perfect.
[G] So this is my cassette [Eb] I'm sending you.
I hope you hear [F] it.
I'm in the car right now.
[Bb] I'm doing 90 [A] on the [G] freeway.
Hey, Slim, I drank [Eb] a fifth of vodka.
You dare me [E] to drive?
You know the song [Eb] by Phil Collins from the Air of the Night?
About that guy [Eb] who could've saved that other guy from [F] drowning, but didn't?
Then Phil saw [Bb] it all, then at [Am] his show he found [Gm] him.
That's kinda how this is.
[Eb] You could've rescued me from drowning.
[F] Now it's too late.
I'm on [Bb] a thousand [A] downers now.
I'm [Gm] drowning.
And all I wanted was [Eb] a lousy letter of a [F] call.
I hope you know I ripped [Bbm] all of your pictures [F] off the [Gm] wall.
I love you, [Eb] Slim.
We could've been together.
Think [E] about it.
You're ruined now.
[Eb] I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it.
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream [F] about it.
I hope your conscience [Bb] eats at you [F] when you can't breathe [Gm] without me.
See, Slim?
[Eb] Shut up, bitch.
I'm trying to [F] talk.
Hey, Slim, that's [Eb] my girlfriend [Am] screaming in the trunk, [Gm] but I didn't slit her throat.
I [Eb] just tied her up.
See, I ain't like [F] you.
Cause if she suffocates, [Bb] she'll suffer more.
[A] Then she'll [G] die too.
Well, gotta [Eb] go.
I'm almost at the bridge [E] now.
Oh, shit.
I [Eb] forgot.
I must focus in this [G] shit out. _ _

[F] Said your girlfriend's pregnant [Bb] now.
How [F] far along is [Gm] she?
