[Asus4][F][Am][Dm][Asus4][F]
[Dm][E][F][G][Am][Dm][E]
[F][G]
Went to [Am]see a band

[Verse 1]
[Asus4]tonight
And they [F]wouldn't play
my fa[Am]vorite [Dm]tunes
[Asus4]It's 2012[Am] but I like[F] the ones
[Dm]from [Asus4]1992
There was no place to sit
[Am]And godd[F]amn it I couldn't
[Am]use my p[Asus4]hone
And fuck if the singer didn't joke
That we [F]all looked like cook[Am]ie-
cut[Asus4]ter clones
And they played too long
And I [F]didn't like [Am]his new [Dm]words
About guys [Asus4]in tennis
shoes
[Am]And moderately [F]talented yet
attractive [Asus4]young girls
When I get home
I tell you just [F]what I'm gonna do
[Am]I'm gon [Asus4]na cry me a river

[F]Gon[Dm]na te[Asus4]ll you a little story here because, well, wh[F]at the heck[Am][Dm]
About [Asus4]a guy named Billy
Who [Am]was [F]born with a birth de[Dm]fect
[Asus4]Was in a wheelchair by
[Am]the time [F]that he was 36
[Dm]He was h[Asus4]unchbacked and his feet
and his hands were green
[F]And all tur[Asus4]ned in
One day the candy
stripers were tak[F]ing him
Out of his [Dm]bed
And they dropped [Asus4]him by accident
[Am]Within five [F]minutes
He was pronounced dead
[Dm]I used to vi[Asus4]sit him
with my [Am]father[F]
When I was a child
[Dm]I never saw Billy on[Asus4]ce when
he didn't have
The happiest [F]smile[Asus4]
I'll tell you another story here because,
[F]you know, well, wha[Am]t the[Dm] fuck
About a winter's day [Asus4]I was
in Tennessee
And my [Am]friend [F]was out fixing
[Dm]his [Asus4]truck
The next door neighbor
kid was in the wood[F]s
When a hunter mistook him as a [Dm]buck
He [Asus4]was shot in the heart
And that was the en[F]d of his
short run [Asus4]of luck
He was 10 years old
And he nev[F]er got [Am]a chance
[Dm]to fuck
Or to play [Asus4]guitar
Or get a tattoo
[F]Or dwell on the internet and
[Asus4]run amok
His mother was shattered
Like a [Am]clay dis[F]c
Or a ceramic duck
[Dm]While the [Asus4]rest of the world
was watching [F]MTV
And [Asus4]hating[Dm][Em][F][G]

[Dm]tell[Asus4] you another story here ab[Am]out a tough Colomb[F]ian kid
Named [Dm]Jimmy
[Asus4]Who sadly [Am]only lived [F]to be
the young [Dm]age of [Am]23
He held the featherweight
[F]title back in 1995
[Dm]Til [Asus4]he stepped i[Am]n the ring with Rafael
[F]Ruelas' older brother Gabe
And [Dm]he died
[Asus4]He had the heart of a lion
[Am]Was outc[F]lassed and
dropped in [Am]round [Dm]11
And two weeks [Asus4]later he found himsel[Am]f
[F]In [G][?] heaven
[Am]Jimmy Garcia's mother
[F]lost her young son
But in time [Dm]she found forgiveness
[Asus4]And put her arms [Am]around the o[F]ther
mother and father's [Dm]son
Told [Asus4]Gabriel to get back o[F]ut there
Put up his fists and [Am]get in that [Dm]ring
[Asus4]And that in him, she would always [Am]see[F]
Her beloved [Dm]son [Am]Jimmy
You go quack [E]quack quack quack
Quack [F]quack quack
Like a little rubber [Dm]duck
Like a pathet[Asus4]ic whiny sad[Am]
little [F]child hater boy [Dm]fuck
[Am]Go in on your analyst
[F]Little petty bitch bitch [Am]bitch
bitch [Asus4]bitch
Be glad you're not a motherfucker
[Am]sleeping in the ditch
Sleeping [F]in the streets
Sleep in your own vomit
Sleep [Dm]in your own [Am]piss
Sleep in a pile of pi[E]geon or dog
[F]or rat or [Dm]crackwhore shit
Or a murder [Asus4]victim in[E] one of those Di[F]e
For Me or Helter Skelter books
[Dm]Or one of those [Asus4]mentally ill kids
Who was [Am]tortured in that Staten [F]Island
place called [Am]Wil lowbrook
[Asus4]I was a kid in a basem[A]ent when[Am]
[F]Geraldo Rivera broke that story
And the im[Am]ages of those kids being
tortured in that institu[F]tion
Stayed with me
And they were so fuck[Dm]ing gory
Grateful [Asus4]you got l[Am]egs to stand o[F]n
And a place to [Dm]pass
[Asus4]Precious [Am]days on this [F]earth
That you still [Dm]got
Your life could end [Am]with a bullet in your [F]head
In a parking [Am]lot
Or in a cancer ward
Much [E]earlier [F]than you ever [Am]thought
[Dm]Crying

[Verse 4]

(And you [Dm]won't [Am]be)[F]
