Припев:
G#m E F# B B/Bb
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why__y_ I got out_ of bed_ at all_
G#m E F# B B/Bb
the morning rain clouds_ up_ my_ win_dow_ and I_ can't see_ at all_
G#m E F# B B/Bb
And even if I could it'd all_ be grey_, but your picture on my wall_
G#m E Eadd9- E
it_ re_minds_ me that it's not so bad_, it's not so bad
(1)
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I sent two letters back in autumn You must not have got 'em
It probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up man, how's your daughter?
G#m E Eadd9- E
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm out to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm-a call her? I'm-a name her Bonnie.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan.
I even got the underground shit that you did with Scam.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man.
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was fat.
G#m E Eadd9- E
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have the chance.
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert You didn't have
to but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
That's my little brother, man. He's only 6 years old.
We waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours and ya just said no.
G#m E Eadd9- E
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I ain't that mad, but I just don't like bein' lied to.
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
G#m E F# B B/Bb
You would write back. See, I'm just like you in a way.
I never knew my father neither. He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs.
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on.
G#m E Eadd9- E
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 F# B B/Bb
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
It's like adrenaline. The Pain is such a sudden rush for me.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it.
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does.
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
G#m E Eadd9- E
You've gotta call me man. I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together too.
[Chorus] (soft guitar + rain + little drums)

Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you hear it.
I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
G#m E Eadd9- E
Hey Slim, "I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to drive?"
You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In The Night"?
G#m E F# B B/Bb
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning? But didn't?
Then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him?
G#m E F# B B/Bb
That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me from drowning.
Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the wall.
G#m E Eadd9- E
I love you Slim, we could have been together. Think about it. You ruined it now,
I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't breathe without me.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
See Slim, {screaming} shut up bitch, I'm trying to talk
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you.
'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too.
G#m E Eadd9- E
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now.
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
G#m E Eadd9- E (car crash)
G#m E Eadd9- E
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy.
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that.
And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it on your Starter cap.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have missed you.
Don't think I did that shit intentionally, just to diss you.
G#m E Eadd9- E
And what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how fucked up is you?
G#m E F# B B/Bb
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other.
Or maybe you just need to treat her better.
G#m E Eadd9- E
I hope you get to read this letter. I just hope it reaches you in time.
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'd be doin' just fine
G#m E F# B B/Bb
If you'd 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.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit.
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick.
G#m E F# B B/Bb
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
G#m E Eadd9- E
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it... his name was... it was you. DAMN!
