Em
A sad story, might find it boring
Bm7
Lost his Mum to a drug named heroin
A7
Father's gone, so Grandma's left with everything
A#m7
Two grandkids and a daughter's coffin
Em
I never really knew him when he was growing up
Bm7

A7 A#m7

[chorus]:
Em
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
Bm7
He's probably given up, given up
A7

Bm7
Never saw the other worlds

Occupied by fitting in where minds
A#m7

Bm7
He reapplied for college and was waiting for his grades
A7
It wouldn't help his case
A#m7
Oh, I couldn't ever say
