CHORUS
Em C D
My tea's gone cold I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C D
It reminds me that it's not so bad
G D Em
It's not so bad
The whole song continues in that chord progression
Em C D
My tea's gone cold I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C D
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C
It's not so bad

Em C
Dear Slim you still ain't called or wrote I hope you have a chance
D G Em
I ain't mad I think it's just f up that you don't answer fans

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

You didn't have to but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
Em C
That's my little brother man he's only six years old

We waited in the blistering cold for you
G D Em
For four hours and you just said no
C
That's pretty s y man you're like his f ing idol

Remember when we met in Denver you said if I write you
Em C
You would write back see I'm just like you in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
G D Em
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
C
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
D G D
So when I have a s y day I drift away and put em on
Em C
Cause I don't really got s else so that s helps when I'm depressed
D C
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Em C
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
D G D
Its like adrenaline the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Em C
See everthing you say is real and I respect you cause you tell it
D G D
My girlfriend's jealous because I talk about you /7
Em C
