A E
It was the summer of 95 (so what!)
B D
In the backyard, shaving the old plies
A E
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)
B D
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long
A E B
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear
D A E
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed
B D
To be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong
A
Gotta keep holding on... they always played a slow song.
[Chorus]
A D
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
A E
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest
A D
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly,
A E
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey

[Verse]
A E
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
B D
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
A E
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)
B D
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.
A E
But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere
B D
Don't stop because you might get dropped,
A E B
And if you do who's going to pick you up
D B
Well I won’t, well I won't... they always played a slow song.

When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey
