[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G#m E F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m
I could it will all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
G#m E F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m
I could it will all be gray, but your picture on my wall
G#m
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 1]

E
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling
F# Bmaj7 F#
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
G#m E
I sent two letters back in au tumn, you must nota got 'em
F# Bmaj7 F#
There probably was a problem at the post office or some thing
G#m E
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
F# Bmaj7 F#
But anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man, how's your daugh ter?
G#m
My girl friend's pregnant, too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her? I'mma name her Bonnie
G#m E
I read about your Uncle Ronnie, too, I'm sorry
F# Bmaj7 F#
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
G#m E
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
F# Bmaj7 F#
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
G#m E
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
F# Bmaj7 F#
I like the shit you did with Rawkus, too, that shit was phat
G#m
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
[Chorus (2)]

G#m E F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m E
clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if
F# Bmaj7 F# G#m
I could it will all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, 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# Bmaj7 F#
I ain't mad I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
G#m E
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
F# Bmaj7 F#
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
G#m E F#
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old We waited in the blistering cold
Bmaj7
for you,For four hours and you just said, "No."
F#
G#m
That's pretty shitty man you're like his fucking idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
G#m E
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
F# Bmaj7 F#
Remember when we met in Denver you said if I'd write youYou would write
G#m E
back see I'm just like you in a way
F# Bmaj7
I never knew my father neither; He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
F#
G#m E
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
F# Bmaj7 F#
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
G#m
'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
G#m E
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
F# Bmaj7 F#
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
G#m E
See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
F# Bmaj7 F#
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
G#m E
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
F# Bmaj7 F#
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up
G#m
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
P.S.
We should be together, too
[Verse 3]
---------------------
G#m E
Dear Mister I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
F# Bmaj7 F#
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
G#m E
It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?
F#
I know you got my last two letters;
Bmaj7 F#
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
G#m E
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
F# Bmaj7 F#
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
G#m
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"
G#m E
About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
F# Bmaj7 F#
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
G#m E
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
F# Bmaj7 F#
Now it's too late. I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
G#m E
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
F# Bmaj7 F#
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
G#m
I love you, Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
G#m E
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
F# Bmaj7 F#
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
G#m E
See, Slim, shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
F# Bmaj7 F#
Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming 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# Bmaj7 F#
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too
G#m
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?
[Verse 4]
---------------------
G#m E
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I've just been busy
F# Bmaj7 F#
You said 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,
Bmaj7 F#
I wrote it on the Starter cap
G#m E
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
F# Bmaj7 F#
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
G#m
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too?
I say that shit just clowning dogg,
C'mon! How fucked up is you?
G#m E
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
F# Bmaj7 F#
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
G#m E
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
F# Bmaj7 F#
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
G#m E
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
F# Bmaj7 F#
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
G#m
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doing just fine
G#m E
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but, Stan
F# Bmaj7 F#
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
G#m E
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
F# Bmaj7 F#
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
G#m E
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
F# Bmaj7 F#
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
G#m
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it, his name was... it was you
G#m
Damn!
