G                            Em
Staring out the window in somebody’s pick up truck,
         D                             C
Well I never mind the boredom cause I use I for a crutch,
         G                            Em 
Just to get me to that plane it’s a different state of sane,
         D                               C
And every time I try to change I always end out quite the same,
 G                 Em            D                      C
Thinking back to happier days everyone was ignorant and all the kids behaved,
    G                        Em
But me, my friends, and the ice cream man,
 D
That was our existence,
 C
That was our clan,
 D
This one goes out to the friends I never had!


 G       Bm          D            C
Hey I don't understand (but I'd like to anyway)
 G       Bm          D            C
Hey I don't understand (but I like it anyway)
 G       Bm          D            C
Hey I don't understand (but I like you anyway)

 G                       Em
Shelter in the city we decided to go in,
       D                        C
And I gave a man some money to buy us heroin,
       G                          Em
The homeless man returned and he gave me back a dime, he said,
 D                                  C
"Put it in your sock my friend and save it for another time,"
G                        Em
Lessons are learned and later unlearned,
        D
And if he knew what he knows now,
      C
Well he could rule the world,
    G
But I'm not one to judge,
      Em
What happened yesterday,
      D                            C
Cause I got me, I got myself, my future is at stake.
