[Intro]
N.C.
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
B
Got out of bed at all
B
The morning rain clouds up my window
B
And I can't see at all
G#m
And even if I could it'd all be grey
G#m
But your picture on my wall
G#m
It reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad
[Chorus]
E
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
F# B F#
Got out of bed at all ■

E
Dear Slim I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
F# B F#
I left my cell my pager and my home phone at the bottom
G#m E
I sent two letters back in autumn you must not've got 'em
F#
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
G#m E
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
F# B
But anyways fuck it what's been up man How's your daughter
G#m E
My girlfriend's pregnant too I'm 'bout to be a father
E
If I have a daughter guess what I'ma call her I'ma name her Bonnie
E
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
F# B F#
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
G#m E F#
I know you probably hear this every day but I'm your biggest fan
B F# G#m
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
E
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
F# B F# G#m
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too that shit was phat
E
Anyways I hope you get this man hit me back

Dear Slim you still ain't called or wrote I hope you have a chance
B G#m
I ain't mad I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
E F#
If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert you didn't have to
B F#
But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
G#m E
That's my little brother man he's only six years old
F# B F# G#m
We waited in the blisterin' cold for you for four hours and you just said no
E
That's pretty shitty man you're like his fuckin' idol
E
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 bein' lied to
F# B G#m
Remember when we met in Denver You said if I'd write you you would write back
E F#
See I'm just like you in a way: I never knew my father neither
B G#m
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
E
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
F# B F#
So when I have a shitty day I drift away and put 'em on
E
'cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
E
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# B 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# B F#
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you twentyfour/seven
G#m E
But she don't know you like I know you Slim no one does
F# B
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
E
You gotta call me man I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
E
Sincerely yours StanPS We should be together too
[Chorus]

You got some issues Stan I think you need some counselin'
F# G#m
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
E
And what's this shit about us meant to be together
F# B F#

G#m E
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
F# B
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
F# G#m E
I hope you get to read this letter I just hope it reaches you in time
