Start of acoustically

C
This song goes out to my good friends
C                               G                 F
Especially the ones I had before the Grammy Nominations in 2003
      C                            F
And to all the girls from back in high school
         C
Who actually spoke to me
     G                              F
Even though I was a fat kid and a marching band geek
C                          F
I hope this song finds you well
      C                            F
And I hope that your doing fucking swell
   G                                 F        Fm
I hope that your back up, if you've ever been down


*TURN DISTORTION ON*

And I hope you got the fuck out of our hometown!
