[Verse 1]
Am
Summer day
Am F
Bobby and this girl would wake up every summer day
C
This boy and girl had nothing, they were runaways
Am G
So in love that now all they wanted was pain and so it came
Am
Never had a silver spoon present in the past
F
Now at last, the spoon is present and so the boy wet it
C
Told her bring him a slab, a cotton swab, and a match
G
And told her one day they’ll fly across the world and have a wedding
Am
Like “baby I have a plan, come with me to this place
F
Baby give me your hand, now flip it give me a vein
C
Baby take off your belt, we’ll use it as a restraint”
G
She sees that it starts to melt, he reaches inside a case
Am
Fills the needle with food, flicks the needle with haste
F
Brings the needle to her, she isn’t right in the face
C
The boy can tell that she’s scared, he says “I love you, okay?”
G
Then shoves it into her arm and says “how the fuck does that taste baby?!”

[Verse 2]
Am
Her dress drops, her head drops
F
Swiggin’ out of a whiskey bottle, he just watches
C
But he was not Bobby, see Bobby had joined the army
G
Been gone for a couple months now she’s messin with everybody
Am
Everyone of the dealers, everyone hears her squealing
F
Trading pussy for product, she did anything for that feeling
F Em
But then she started that feeling, early morning she’s kneelin’
G
In front of the toilet look at her belly there’s no concealing
Am
That she’s expecting a child
This woman is living foul
F
She’s only 20 years old
And hardly can even smile
C
Ultrasound shows a baby that’s barely over a pound
G
Sold everything in her house just trying to score an ounce
Am
News of her baby’s father was that he died in the war
F
Now that syringe is all that keeps her alive anymore
C
No mattress, so her and her child dyin’ on the floor
G
As a letter’s at the door reading:
“I’ll be home tomorrow. love, Bobby”

[Verse 3]
Am
Knockin’ at the door but doesn’t get an answer
F
Bobby’s nervous, his heart starts to beat faster
C
He hasn’t talked to his girl in so long
Am G
She sold his phone for a hit, damn how he wish that he could hear her laughter
Am
But his drug hit her like a cancer
F C
And he forgot ‘cause he had left and cleaned his act up
Am
Passenger seat in his Acura got a picture of ‘em kissing
G
Under the words "happily ever after”
Am
He walks into the house, it’s a fuckin’ disaster
F
Every step he takes his shoe crushes a capsule
C
Holds his breath, he knows what he smells isn’t natural
Am G
Looks down, it’s the body of the queen of his castle
Am
“Baby please, baby please!!!"
F
"Wake up!!!”
C
He screams on his knees and he sees her hands around her stomach
Inside was a child
Am
And realizes it was his…
*gun cock* *gun shot*
Am
Summer day,
F
An entire family died on that summer day
C
‘cause a facade made a girl give her love away
Am
But those were Bobby’s consequences that he had to pay
G
Love is pain
