Chorus:Am F G
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wondering why
C G Am
I got out of bed at all
F G
The morning rain cloudʼs up my window
C G Am
And I canʼt see at all
F G
And even if I could, itʼd all be gray
C G Am
But your picture on my wall
F
It reminds me
Am F
That itʼs not so bad, itʼs not so bad
Am F G
My teaʼs gone cold, Iʼm wondering why
C G Am
I got out of bed at all
F G
The morning rain cloudʼs up my window
C G Am
And I canʼt see at all
F G
And even if I could, itʼd all be gray
C G Am
But your picture on my wall
F
It reminds me
Am F
That itʼs not so bad, itʼs not so bad
Am F
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ainʼt callin
G C B
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
Am F
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got ʼem
G C B
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethinʼ
Am F
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot ʼem
G C B
But anyway, whatʼs been up man, howʼs your daughter?
Am F
My girlfriendʼs pregnant too, Iʼm bout to be a father
G C
If I have a daughter, guess what Iʼm a call her
B
Iʼm a name her Bonnie
Am F
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, Iʼm sorry
G C B
I had a friend kill himself over some b**** who didnʼt want him
Am F G
I know you probably hear this every day, but Iʼm your biggest fan
C B
I even got that underground s*** that you did with Skam
Am F
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
G C B
I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too, that s*** was phat
Am F
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back
G C B
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

Am F
Dear Slim, you still ainʼt called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,
G C B
I ainʼt mad, I think itʼs just f***** up that you donʼt answer fans
Am F
If you didnʼt wanna talk to me outside your concert
G C B
You didnʼt have to, but you couldʼve signed an autograph for Matthew
Am F
Thatʼs my little brother man, heʼs only six years old
G
We waited in the blistering cold for you
C B
For four hours and you just said no
Am F
Thatʼs pretty s****y man, youʼre like his f***ing idol
G C B
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
Am F
I ainʼt that mad though, I just donʼt like being lied to
G C B
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
Am F
You would write back, see Iʼm just like you in a way
G
I never knew my father neither
C B
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
Am F
I can relate to what youʼre saying in your songs
G C B
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on
Am F
Cause I donʼt really got s*** else, so that s*** helps when Iʼm depressed
G C B
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Am F
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
G C B
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Am F
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
G C B
My girlfriendʼs jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
Am F
But she donʼt know you like I know you slim, no one does
G C B
She donʼt know what it was like for people like us growinʼ up
Am F
You gotta call me man, Iʼll be the biggest fan youʼll ever lose
G C B
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s. we should be together too

Dear Mr Iʼm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans
G C B
Thisʼll be the last package I ever send your a**
Am
Itʼs been six months and still no words
F
I donʼt deserve it
G
I know you got my last two letters
C B
I wrote the addresses on them perfect
Am F
So this is my cassette Iʼm sending you, I hope you hear it
G C B
Iʼm in the car right now, Iʼm doinʼ 90 on the freeway
Am F
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?
G C B
You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night
Am F
About that guy who couldʼve saved that other guy from drowning
G C B
But didnʼt, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
Am F
Thatʼs kinda how this is, you couldʼve rescued me from drowning
G C B
Now itʼs too late, Iʼm on a 1,000 downers now, Iʼm drowsy
Am F
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
G C B
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
Am F
I love you Slim, we couldʼve been together, think about it
G C B
You ruined it now, I hope you canʼt sleep and you dream about it
Am F
And when you dream, I hope you canʼt sleep and you scream about it
G C B
I hope your conscience eats at you and you canʼt breathe without me
Am F
See Slim, shut up b****, Iʼm trying to talk
G C B
Hey Slim, thatʼs my girlfriend screaminʼ in the trunk
Am F
But I didnʼt slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ainʼt like you
G C B
Cause if she suffocates, sheʼll suffer more, then sheʼll die too
Am F
Well, gotta go, Iʼm almost under the bridge now
G C B
Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s*** out?
Chorus:Am F G

Am F
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but Iʼve just been busy
G C B
You say your girlfriendʼs pregnant now, how far along is she?
Am F
Look, Iʼm really flattered you would call your daughter that
G
And hereʼs an autograph for your brother
C B
I wrote it on this Starter cap
Am F
Iʼm sorry I didnʼt see you at the show, I mustʼve missed you
G C B
Donʼt think I did that s*** intentionally just to dis you
Am F
But whatʼs that s*** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
G
I say that s*** just clowninʼ dog
C B
Cʼmon, how f***ed up is you?
Am F
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
G C B
To keep your a** from bouncinʼ off the walls when you get down some
Am F
And whatʼs this s*** about us meant to be together?
G C B
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other
Am F
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
G C
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
B Am F
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
G C B
Before you hurt yourself, I think that youʼll be doin just fine
Am F
If you relax a little, Iʼm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
G C B
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
Am F
I just donʼt want you to do some crazy s***
G C B
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick
Am F
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
G C B
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
Am F
And in the car they found a tape, didnʼt say who it was to
G C B
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...
Am
Damn
