Intro
C, Em, Am, D# (x2)
VERSE 1:
A# Dm
Me and My best friend Jim started our own band
Gm D#
When I was fifteen living in Deutschland.
A# Dm
Didn't matter that we could hardly play
Gm D#
Came up with a crazy name, called the band "Queen UK"
A# Dm
I played the guitar, he played drums
Gm D#
Our parents told us one day we'd be bums
A# Dm
And everyday we'd go over to his parents house
Gm D#
And in the basement we'd play as hard and loud
A# Dm
As we could get it. It drove his mom mad
Gm D#
But it never seemed to bother his drunk dad.
A# Dm
We wrote five or six, songs or so
Gm D#
We played them at the high school talent show
A# Dm
We blew the shit up. The girls went crazy.
Gm D#
We looked so cool. They called us 'baby.'
A# Dm
And after that man, we had it made.
Gm D#
The normal life was later-ade.
INTERLUDE:
C, Em, Am, F...
VERSE 2:
A# Dm
Well I moved to Austin, he moved to LA after living in Seattle.
Gm D#
I joined a funk band, he got all into heavy metal.
A# Dm
It was a wild time. I did a lot of blotter.
Gm D#
It was like some bad episode of "Welcome Back Kotter".
A# Dm
I went out to LA to visit him.
Gm D#
But he was all messed up playing in some shitty band.
A# Dm
Snorting heroin. He had like ten tatoos.
Gm D#
We smoked some serious kind, drank a ton of booze.
A# Dm
We joked around alot. We'd always say
Gm D#
We've come so far since the good ol' days.
INTERLUDE:
C, Em, Am, F...
VERSE 3:
A# Dm
It was a blur but, I don't really remember much.
Gm D#
Just glad to get the hell out, I never liked LA too much.
A# Dm
Austin was more laid back, more like my kind of town.
Gm D#
People kickin it, not so tightly wound.
A# Dm
My bands kept breaking up, like they always do.
Gm D#
I kept getting by, and pulling through.
A# Dm
I got a phone call from Jim one night in ninety-eight
Gm D#
He didn't sound so good he said 'I need a break'.
A# Dm
He said can I come to stay for a week or so.
Gm D#
I said 'That'd be cool. No problem bro.'
A# Dm
But I never spoke to him again after that.
Gm D#
I got a call from this guy in Jim's band Aftermath.
A# Dm
He said that Jim had died sometime last week or so.
Gm D#
In his apartment, some kind of overdose.
A# Dm
The police couldn't find his folks, and maybe did I know
Gm D#
How to get a hold of them and I said I did and so
A# Dm
They called his parents up and it was shitty but,
Gm D#
I went to the funeral and I was all fucked up.
A# Dm
And I felt responsible in some weird ol' way.
Gm D#
But there was nothing I could do, there was nothing I could say.
INTERLUDE:
C, Em, Am, D# (x2)...
VERSE 4:
A# Dm
That's the way it goes when fate is king.
Gm D#
You can't tell the world how to do its thing.
A# Dm
You can just hold on tight, let it take you for a ride.
Gm D#
And maybe you might make it to the other side.
A# Dm
Well in the end I guess, it doesn't matter so.
Gm D#
I guess I'll tell you everything I know now.
