i left my cell, my pager,
C G Am
and my home phone at the bottom
F
i sent two letters back in Autumn,
G
you must not have got ‘em
there probably was a problem
C G
with the post office or somethin’
Am
sometimes i scribble addresses
F G
too sloppy when i jot ‘em
C
but anyway, what’s been up man,

dear slim, you still ain’t called or wrote,
i hope you have a chance,
G C
i ain’t mad, i think it’s just f*****
Am
up that you don’t answer fans
F
if you didn’t wanna talk to me outside your concert
G
you didn’t have to,
C G
but you could’ve signed an autograph for matthew
Am
that’s my little brother man,
F
he’s only six years old
G
we waited in the blistering cold for you
C G
For four hours and you just said no
Am
that’s pretty s****y man,
F
you’re like his f***ing idol
D
he wants to be just like you man,
F
he likes you more than i do
Am
i ain’t that mad though,
F
i just don’t like being lied to
G C
remember when we met in denver,
G
you said if i write you
Am
you would write back,
F
see i’m just like you in a way
G
i never knew my father neither
C G Am
he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
F
i can relate to what you’re saying in your songs
G
so when i have a s****y day,
C G
i drift away and put em on
Am
cause i don’t really got s*** else,
F
so that s*** helps when i’m depressed
D F
i even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Am
sometimes i even cut myself
F
to see how much it bleeds
G
its like adrenaline,
C G
the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Am
see everthing you say is real,
F
and i respect you cause you tell it
G
my girlfriend’s jealous,
C G
because i talk about you 24/7
Am F
but she don’t know you like i know you slim,
no one does
G
she don’t know what it was like
C G
for people like us growin’ up
Am
you gotta call me man,
F
i’ll be the biggest fan you’ll ever lose
D
sincerely yours, stan, p.s.
F
we should be together too

C G
i ever send your a**
Am
it’s been six months and still no words
F
i don’t deserve it
G
i know you got my last two letters
C G
i wrote the addresses on them perfect
Am F
so this is my cassette i’m sending you,
i hope you hear it
G
i’m in the car right now,
C G
i’m doin’ 90 on the freeway
Am F
hey slim, i drank a fifth of vodka,
D
dare me to drive?
F
you know that song by Phil collins,
in the Air of the Night
Am
About that guy who could’ve saved
F
that other guy from drowning
G
but didn’t, but Phil saw it all,
C G
then at a show he found him
Am
that’s kinda how this is,
F
you could’ve rescued me from drowning
G
Now it’s too late,
C G
i’m on a 1,000 downers now, i’m drowsy
Am F
and all i wanted was a lousy letter or a call
G
i hope you know i ripped
C G
all of your pictures off my wall
Am F
i love you slim, we could’ve been together,
D
think about it you ruined it now,
F
i hope you can’t sleep
Am
and you dream about it and when you dream,
F
i hope you can’t sleep and you scream about it
G
i hope your conscience eats
C G Am
at you and you can’t breathe without me
F
see slim, shut up b****, i’m trying to talk
G C G
hey slim, that’s my girlfriend screamin’ in the trunk
Am
but i didn’t slit her throat,
F
i just tied her up, see i ain’t like you
G
cause if she suffocates,
C G Am
she’ll suffer more, then she’ll die too
F D

Oh s***, i forgot,

Am F
dear stan, i meant to write you sooner,
but i’ve just been busy
G C

G
how far along is she?
Am
Look, i’m really flattered
F
you would call your daughter that
G
and here’s an autograph for your brother
C G Am
i wrote it on this starter cap
F
i’m sorry i didn’t see you at the show,
i must’ve missed you
G
don’t think i did that s***
C G Am
intentionally just to dis you
F
but what’s that s*** you said
D
about you like to cut your wrists too?
F
i say that s*** just clownin’ dog
Am
c’mon, how f***ed up is you?
you got some issues, stan,
F
i think you need some counseling
G
to keep your a** from bouncin’
C G Am
off the walls when you get down some and
F
what’s this s*** about us meant to be together?
G
that type of s*** will make me
C G
not want us to meet each other
Am
i really think you and
F
your girlfriend need each other
G C
or maybe you just need to treat her better
G Am
i hope you get to read this letter,
F
i hope it reaches you in time
D
before you hurt yourself,
F
i think that you’ll be doin just fine
Am
if you relax a little,
F
i’m glad that i inspire you, but stan
G C
why are you so mad? try to understand,
G Am
that i do want you as a fan
F
i just don’t want you to do some crazy s***
G
i seen this one s*** on the news
C G Am
a couple of weeks ago that made me sick..
F
some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
G
and had his girlfriend in his trunk
C G
and she was pregnant with his kid
Am
and in the car they found a tape,
F

F Am
his name was, it was you..
