Lyrics: 
 
A5         E5 
Tim he was a good friend 
D5 
Yea was a brother of mine 
         A5              E5 
We were imaginary comic book superheroes 
D5 
Kids wasting time 
        A5          E5 
We were prisoners of our youth 
D5 
We were growing up strong 
A5             E5 
'Til the day he was taken away 
D5 
For something he did wrong.. Oh alright.. 
 
 
A5                 E5 
Tim came 'round just the other day 
    D5 
And boy he had some stories to tell 
A5                        E5 
His mama kept him locked up in a rehab 
            D5 
Although the doctors said he was well 
A5                      E5 
He said yeah I been through the anger 
     D5 
And the hatred towards my mom 
A5              E5 
And I put all that behind me 
             D5 
Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom 
 
Chorus: 
A5                 E5 
He said thank you mom for fixing 
   E5 
My clouded broken mind 
A5                   E5    D5 
But excuse me if I seem a little rude 
A5                 E5    E5 
While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime 
D5 
You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude 
 
 
     F#5            G5         A5  
Well growing up these days just ain't easy 
     F#5            G5         A5  
And the kids they're doing the best that they can 
 F#5            G5         A5  
So mama you better think twice 
G5                             A5  
Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key 
F#5                   G5             D5 
'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man 
 
(Chorus) 
 

A5        E5 
Tim left town yesterday 
D5 
He left me with these words 
A5                                E5    D5 
He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give 
A5             E5 
But my childhood is gone 
        D5 
And I'm not afraid of dying 
A5                        E5                 D5 
I'm gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live 
 
(Chorus) 
 
END.
