[Asus2] [Esus]

Tim he was a good friend

[Dsus]

Yea was a brother of mine

[Asus2] [Esus]

We were imaginary comic book superheroes

[Dsus]

Kids wasting time

[Asus2] [Esus]

We were prisoners of our youth

[Dsus]

We were growing up strong

[Asus2] [Esus]

'Til the day he was taken away

[Dsus]

For something he did wrong.. Oh alright..

[Asus2] [Esus]

Tim came 'round just the other day

[Dsus]

And boy he had some stories to tell

[Asus2] [Esus]

His mama kept him locked up in a rehab

[Dsus]

Although the doctors said he was well

[Asus2] [Esus]

He said yeah I been through the anger

[Dsus]

And the hatred towards my mom

[Asus2] [Esus]

And I put all that behind me

[Dsus]

Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom

Chorus:

[Asus2] [Esus]

He said thank you mom for fixing

[Esus/F#]

My clouded broken mind

[Asus2] [Esus] [Dsus]

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

[Asus2] [Esus] [Esus/F#]

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

[Dsus]

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

[F#m] [G] [Asus2*]

Well growing up these days just ain't easy

[F#m] [G] [Asus2*]

And the kids they're doing the best that they can

[F#m] [G] [Asus2*]

So mama you better think twice

[G] [Asus2*]

Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key

[F#m] [G] [Dsus*]

'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man

(CHORUS)

[Asus2] [Esus]

Tim left town yesterday

[Dsus]

He left me with these words

[Asus2] [Esus] [Dsus]

He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give

[Asus2] [Esus]

But my childhood is gone

[Dsus]

And I'm not afraid of dying

[Asus2] [Esus] [Dsus]

I'm gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live

(CHORUS)

END.
