C5
This song goes out to my good friends
C5                               G5                 G5  
Especially the ones I had before the Grammy Nominations in 2003
      C5                            G5
And to all the girls from back in high school
         C5
Who actually spoke to me
     G5                              G5
Even though I was a fat kid and a marching band geek
C5                          G5
I hope this song finds you well
      C5                            G5
And I hope that your doing fucking swell
   G5                                 A5        G5 
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!
