Stan

[Chorus]

G#m E F#

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

B F# G#m

Got out of bed at all

E F#

The morning rain clouds up my window

B F# G#m

And I can't see at all

E F#

And even if I could it'll all be gray

B F# G#m

But your picture on my wall

E F#

It reminds me that it's not so bad

B F# G#m

It's not so bad

G#m E F#

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

B F# G#m

Got out of bed at all

E F#

The morning rain clouds up my window

B F# G#m

And I can't see at all

E F#

And even if I could it'll all be gray

B F# G#m

But your picture on my wall

E F#

It reminds me that it's not so bad

E

It's not so bad

[Verse 1]

G#m E F#

Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin

B F# G#m

I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

E F#

I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em

B F#

There probably was a problem with the post office or somethin'

G#m E F#

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

B F# G#m

But anyway, what's been up man, how's your daughter?

E

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

F# E

If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her

G#m

I'm a name her Bonnie

E

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry

F# B F# G#m

I had a friend kill himself over some b**** who didn't want him

E F#

I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

B F# G#m

I even got that underground s*** that you did with Skam

E F#

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

B F# G#m

I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too, that s*** was phat

E

Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back

F# E

Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

[Chorus]

G#m E F#

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

B F# G#m

Got out of bed at all

E F#

The morning rain clouds up my window

B F# G#m

And I can't see at all

E F#

And even if I could it'll all be gray

B F# G#m

But your picture on my wall

E F#

It reminds me that it's not so bad

B F# G#m

It's not so bad

[Verse 2]

G#m E

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,

F# B G#m

I ain't mad, I think it's just f***** up that you don't answer fans

E

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

F# B F#

You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew

G#m E

That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

F#

We waited in the blistering cold for you

B F# G#m

For four hours and you just said no

E

That's pretty s****y man, you're like his f***ing idol

F# E G#m

He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

E

I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to

F# B F#

Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you

G#m E

You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way

F#

I never knew my father neither

B F# G#m

He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

E

I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

F# B F#

So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on

G#m E

Cause I don't really got s*** else, so that s*** helps when I'm depressed

F# E

I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

G#m E

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

F# B F#

Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

G#m E

See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it

F# B F#

My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk about you 24/7

G#m E

But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does

F# B F#

She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up

G#m E

You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

F#

Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.

E

We should be together too

[Chorus]

G#m E F#

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

B F# G#m

Got out of bed at all

E F#

The morning rain clouds up my window

B F# G#m

And I can't see at all

E F#

And even if I could it'll all be gray

B F# G#m

But your picture on my wall

E F#

It reminds me that it's not so bad

E

It's not so bad

[Verse 3]

G#m E F#

Dear Mr I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans

B F#

This'll be the last package I ever send your a**

G#m

It's been six months and still no words

E

I don't deserve it

F#

I know you got my last two letters

B F#

I wrote the addresses on them perfect

G#m E

So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

F# B F#

I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway

G#m E F#

Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?

E

You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night

G#m E

About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning

F# B F#

But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him

G#m E

That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning

F# B F#

Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy

G#m E

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

F# B F#

I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall

G#m E F#

I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it

E G#m

You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

E

And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

F# B F# G#m

I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

E

See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk

F# B F#

Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk

G#m E

But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

F# B F# G#m

Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too

E F#

Well, gotta go, I'm almost under the bridge now

E

Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s*** out?

[Instrumental] x2

G#m E F# E

[Chorus]

G#m E F#

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

B F# G#m

Got out of bed at all

E F#

The morning rain clouds up my window

B F# G#m

And I can't see at all

E F#

And even if I could it'll all be gray

B F# G#m

But your picture on my wall

E F#

It reminds me that it's not so bad

E

It's not so bad

[Verse 4]

G#m E

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy

F# B F#

You say your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

G#m E

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

F#

And here's an autograph for your brother

B F# G#m

I wrote it on this Starter cap

E

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

F# B F# G#m

Don't think I did that s*** intentionally just to dis you

E F#

But what's that s*** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

F#

I say that s*** just clownin' dog

G#m

C'mon, how f***ed up is you?

E

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling

F# B F# G#m

To keep your a** from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some

E

And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?

F# B F# G#m

That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other

E

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

F# B

Or maybe you just need to treat her better

F# G#m E

I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time

F# E

Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine

G#m E

If you relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan

F# B F# G#m

Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

E

I just don't want you to do some crazy s***

F# B F# G#m

I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick

E

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

F# B F#

And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid

G#m E

And in the car they found a tape, didn't say who it was to

F# E G#m

Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...

[Ending]

G#m

Damn
