2002

F           C    Am             
The year is 2002. I'm doin' 
         F                         
exactly what I wanna do. And baby I
        C               G   G7
 don't even think about you anymore.
F                    C       
Just thought I would drop you a 
        Am                   F
line, let you know that I was doin' 
fine, cause baby it's been a
C                         G      
long, long time since you walked 
       G7
out my door.
F                    C            
It took some time, I must confess.
 Am                             
 For a while there I was feelin' 
 F
less than my best. Had to get
                       C        
outta town so I headed out west. 
            G     G7
Ended up in Seattle.
F                        C       
Just thought I'd start a brand 
        Am                      F
new band. Thought I might call it 
Lonelyland, but things got a
       C                           
little out of hand. Ended up hooked
    G   G7
 on Heroin.
F                    C    
So I ended up movin' back to 
            Am                     
Germany. Livin' with the folks and 
   F
baggin' groceries, but the time I
              C                   
had there was mostly free...spent 
G            G7
most of it drinkin'.

F               C           Am  
Got myself in a jam or two. 
              F                 
Guess it's what I had to do. But 
                   C
late at night I would still think of
                 G       G7
you....felt like I was drownin'.
F                       
Til' I met this girl at a 
  C           Am                  
disco-tech. She was a dancer 
    F
,baby, but not what you'd expect. 
She taught
                   C               
ballet and she was half Czec. Half 
G   G7
Chinese.
F                     C          
But after she decided not to have
           Am                      
 the baby. Said she might move back
        F
 to the mainland maybe. By then
                      C         
I didn't really care. I was half 
        G    G7
drunk. Half crazy.
F                      C  
Got arrested once, but never 
              Am                   
convicted. My parents eventually 
     F
had me evicted. Tried your number,
     C                   G     
it'd been disconnected...guess I 
              G7
should have known.
F                        C       
Heard ya got married and moved 
    Am                     F
away. Called your folks, but where 
they would not say. They said
              C                    
it's probably better that way so I 
     G      G7
just let it be.
F                      C         
I moved back to Austin about a 
        Am                        
year ago. Drive a schoolbus I don't 
F
drink no more. I go out every
                   C             
once in a while to see a show but 
               G     G7
mostly I just watch T.V.
F                         C      
So I don't know where I'm gonna 
                  Am               
send this letter. I doubt things 
            F
are ever gonna get much better. It
                  C      
seems like life's one big 
          G   G7
whatever...anyway.
F                         C  
Just thought I would drop you a 
         Am                 F     
line. Lie, and say I was doin' 
                             C
fine. Cause baby it's been a long,
                    G            
long time since you walked out my
G7   C
 door.
