Verse

A                 E
It was the summer of 95 (so what!)

B                D
In the backyard, shaving the old plies

A                            E
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)

B                               D
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long

A                          E                 B
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear

D                               A                 E
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed 

B                  D
To be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong

A
Gotta keep holding on... they always played a slow song.

Horns (no guitar)

Chorus

A                      D
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk

A                      E
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest 

A                    D
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly, 

A                             E                             
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey

Verse

A                             E
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.

B                           D
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.

A                       E
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)

B                            D
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.

A                 E
But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere 

B                  D
Don't stop because you might get dropped, 

A             E              B
And if you do who's going to pick you up

D             B
Well I won’t, well I won't... they always played a slow song.
