Chorus:
Abm            E                   Gb
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
    B      Gb         Abm
Got out of bed at all
            E                 Gb
The morning rain clouds up my window
    B       Gb         Abm
And I can't see at all
         E                Gb
And even if I could it'll all be gray
         B       Gb         Abm
But your picture on my wall
        E               Db 
It reminds me that it's not so bad
     B      Gb   Abm
It's not so bad
Abm            E                   Gb
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
    B      Gb         Abm
Got out of bed at all
            E                 Gb
The morning rain clouds up my window
    B       Gb         Abm
And I can't see at all
         E                Gb
And even if I could it'll all be gray
         B       Gb         Abm
But your picture on my wall
        E               Db 
It reminds me that it's not so bad
     E
It's not so bad

Verse 1:
Abm                     E                           Gb
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin
                                 B                    Gb   Abm
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
                               E                             Gb
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em
                                      B              Gb
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethin'
Abm                                 E                     Gb
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
                        B                  Gb        Abm
But anyway, what's been up man, how's your daughter?
                                            E
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

 Gb                                B                    Gb        Abm
I had a friend kill himself over some b     who didn't want him
                                       E                         Gb
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
                       B                           Gb     Abm
I even got that underground s    that you did with Skam
                          E                             Gb
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
                              B                Gb             Abm
I like that s    you did with Rawkus too, that s    was phat
                    E
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back
Db                              E
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

Chorus:
Abm            E                   Gb
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
    B      Gb         Abm
Got out of bed at all
            E                 Gb
The morning rain clouds up my window
    B       Gb         Abm
And I can't see at all
         E                Gb
And even if I could it'll all be gray
         B       Gb         Abm
But your picture on my wall

It's not so bad

Verse 2:
     Abm                               E
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,
Gb                              B                                   Abm
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
           Gb                                   B             Gb
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
         Abm                             E
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
                 Gb
We waited in the blistering cold for you
    B                  Gb            Abm
For four hours and you just said no
                                 E
That's pretty s    y man, you're like his f   ing idol
   Db                                 E                       Abm
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
      Gb                       B               Gb
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
          Abm                           E
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
                Gb
I never knew my father neither
           B                  Gb                Abm
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
                            E
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
          Gb                          B               Gb
So when I have a s    y day, I drift away and put em on
              Abm                                 E
Cause I don't really got s    else, so that s    helps when I'm depressed
Db                          E
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Abm                             E
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
         Gb                            B             Gb
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
        Abm                              E
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
       Gb                               B              Gb
My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
Abm                                     E
But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does
Gb                                         B                 Gb
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
          Abm                               E
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
          Db 
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.
E
We should be together too

Chorus:
Abm            E                   Gb
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
    B      Gb         Abm
Got out of bed at all
            E                 Gb
The morning rain clouds up my window
    B       Gb         Abm
And I can't see at all
         E                Gb
And even if I could it'll all be gray
         B       Gb         Abm
But your picture on my wall
        E               Db 
It reminds me that it's not so bad
     E
It's not so bad

Verse 3:
Abm                       E                    Gb
Dear Mr I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans
                              B                 Gb
This'll be the last package I ever send your a 
              Abm
It's been six months and still no words
           E
I don't deserve it
                  Gb
I know you got my last two letters
               B                     Gb
I wrote the addresses on them perfect
Abm                                    E
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
    Gb                               B               Gb
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway
Abm                           E                      Db 
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
Abm                                     E
G#out that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning
    Gb                           B                         Gb
But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
Abm                                     E
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning
         Gb                        B            Gb
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy
Abm                          E
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
Gb                                    B           Gb
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
Abm                           E                          Db 
I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it
                    E                                           Abm
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
Gb                             B                  Gb                Abm
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
Gb                       B                       Gb
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
Abm                                            E
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
Gb                                      B                 Gb      Abm
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too
               E                               Db 
Well, gotta go, I'm almost under the Bridge now

Got out of bed at all

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

Verse 4:
Abm                                    E
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy
Gb                                     B                  Gb
You say your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Abm                                   E
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
              Gb
And here's an autograph for your brother
  B           Gb               Abm
I wrote it on this Starter cap
                   E
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you
Gb                           B             Gb               Abm
Don't think I did that s    intentionally just to dis you
                             E                                      Db 
But what's that s    you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

C'mon, how f   ed up is you?

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
Gb                                      B                  Gb         Abm
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?
Gb                                  B                    Gb     Abm
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
Gb                                   B
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
Gb                 Abm                          E
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time               
           Db                                 E
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine

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

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  
            Gb                                B              Gb            Abm
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
            Gb                                   B                 Gb
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
           Abm                            E
And in the car they found a tape, didn't say who it was to
        Db                           E              Abm
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...
