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

1ST VERSE

Em                     C                           D
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin

                                 G                    D   Em
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

                               C                             D
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em

                                      G              D         
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethin'

Em                                 C                     D
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

                        G                  D        Em
But anyway, what's been up man, how's your daughter?

                                            C
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

            D                                  C
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her

                      Em
I'm a name her Bonnie

                        C
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry

 D                                G                    D        Em
I had a friend kill himself over some b**** who didn't want him

                                       C                         D
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

                       G                           D     Em
I even got that underground s*** that you did with Skam

                          C                             D
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

                              G                D             Em
I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too, that s*** was phat

                    C
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back

D                               C          
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

2ND VERSE

     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

                            C
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

           D                                   G             D
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

                 D
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


D                                  C                       Em
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

                        C
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to

      C                       G               D
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 24/7

Em                                     C
But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does

D                                         G                 D
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up

          Em                               C
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

          D
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.

C
We should be together too



Em            C                   D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

    G      D         Em
Got out of bed at all

Dear Mr I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans

                              G                 D
This'll be the last package I ever send your a**

              Em
It's been six months and still no words

           C
I don't deserve it

                  D
I know you got my last two letters

               G                     D
I wrote the addresses on them perfect

Em                                    C
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

    D                               G               D
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway

Em                           C                      D
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?

                           C
You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night

Em                                     C
About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning

    D                           G                         D
But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him

Em                                     C
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning

         D                        G            D
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy

Em                          C
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

D                                    G           D
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall

Em                           C                          D                
I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it

                    C                                           Em
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

                               C
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

D                             G                  D                Em
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

             C
See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk

D                       G                       D
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk

Em                                            C
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

D                                      G                 D      Em
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too

               C                               D
Well, gotta go, I'm almost under the bridge now

                  C
Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s*** out?


Em C D C (2x)

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And even if I could it'll all be gray

4TH VERSE

Em                                    C
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy

D                                     G                  D
You say your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

Em                                   C
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

              D
And here's an autograph for your brother

  G           D               Em
I wrote it on this Starter cap

                   C
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

D                           G             D               Em
Don't think I did that s*** intentionally just to dis you

                             C                                      D
But what's that s*** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

                                  D
I say that s*** just clownin' dog

                             Em
C'mon, how f***ed up is you?

                             C
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling 

D                                      G                  D         Em
To keep your a** from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some

                              C
And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?

D                                  G                    D     Em
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other

                            C
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

D                                   G
Or maybe you just need to treat her better

D                 Em                          C
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
                
           D                                  C
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine

         Em                              C
If you relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan

    D                           G                D             Em
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

                         C
I just don't want you to do some crazy s***

            D                                G              D            Em
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick

                                  C
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

            D                                   G                 D
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid

           Em                            C
And in the car they found a tape, didn't say who it was to

        D                            C              Em
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...

Em
Damn

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

...
