Verse

C                 G
It was the summer of 95 (so what!)

F                F
In the backyard, shaving the old plies

C                            G
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)

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

C                          G                 F
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear

F                               C                 G
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed 

F                  F
To be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong

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

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

C                      G
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest 

C                    F
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly, 

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

Verse

C                             G
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.

F                           F
No one gave a sh*t about us because times were tougher then.

C                       G
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin' the hood (hood!)

F                            F
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.

C                 G
But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere 

F                  F
Don't stop because you might get dropped, 

C             G              F
And if you do who's going to pick you up

F             F
Well I won't, well I won't... they always played a slow song.
