C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my friend Steven
C        C/D        C/F        C
He thought he found an answer
C        C/D        C/F        C
He was my firend since kindergarden
C        C/D        C/F        C
And then I watched him disappear.

[Verse 2]

C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my friend Mellisa
C        C/D        C/F        C
She had a baby when she was sixteen
C        C/D        C/F        C
And now she works in a mall in Florida
C        C/D        C/F        C
Sometimes I wonder who she could have been.

[Verse 3]

C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie
C        C/D        C/F        C
She's the one who made me want to be an artist
C        C/D        C/F        C
She could paint the prettiest pictures
C        C/D        C/F        C
until both her lungs collapsed.

[Verse 4]

C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry
C        C/D        C/F        C
He had a low scrattchy growl of a voice
C        C/D        C/F        C
He sing "make me an angel that flies from montgomery"
C        C/D        C/F        C
And then he drank himself to death

[Verse 5]

C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my sister
C        C/D        C/F        C
Because my sister is a crack head
C        C/D        C/F        C
But thank God I remember
C        C/D        C/F        C
When she was just a little kid

[Verse 6]

C        C/D        C/F        C
I'll never get to know my dad
C        C/D        C/F        C
Because my dad lives in a dream
C        C/D        C/F        C
And even though I think he's the best
C        C/D        C/F        C
He seems so far from everything

[Verse 7]

C        C/D        C/F        C
And I'll never get to know my mom
C        C/D        C/F        C
Because my mom is an alcholic
C        C/D        C/F        C
And I bet when she was young
C        C/D        C/F        C
She never saw it coming

[Verse 8]

C        C/D        C/F        C
You might wonder why I'm an asshole
C        C/D        C/F        C
I wonder I'm so uptight
C        C/D        C/F        C
I wonder why I just don't chill out
C        C/D        C/F        C
And learn how to have a good time
C        C/D        C/F        C
But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind
C        C/D        C/F        C
And sometimes I just get angry
C        C/D        C/F        C
Because I've been let down by the people that I love
C        C/D        C/F        C
But I will not let down the people who love me.
