^{Asus2 Esus}
Tim he was a good friend
^Dsus
Yea was a brother of mine
^{Asus2 Esus}
We were imaginary comic book superheroes
^Dsus
Kids wasting time
^{Asus2 Esus}
We were prisoners of our youth
^Dsus
We were growing up strong
^{Asus2 Esus}
'Til the day he was taken away
^Dsus
For something he did wrong.. Oh alright..


^{Asus2 Esus}
Tim came 'round just the other day
^Dsus
And boy he had some stories to tell
^{Asus2 Esus}
His mama kept him locked up in a rehab
^Dsus
Although the doctors said he was well
^{Asus2 Esus}
He said yeah I been through the anger
^Dsus
And the hatred towards my mom
^{Asus2 Esus}
And I put all that behind me
^Dsus
Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom


Chorus:

^{Asus2 Esus}
He said thank you mom for fixing
^Esus/F#
My clouded broken mind
^{Asus2 Esus Dsus}
But excuse me if I seem a little rude
^{Asus2 Esus Esus/F#}
While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime
^Dsus
You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude


^{F#m G Asus2*}
Well growing up these days just ain't easy
^{F#m G Asus2*}
And the kids they're doing the best that they can
^{F#m G Asus2*}
So mama you better think twice
^{G Asus2*}
Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key
^{F#m G Dsus*}
'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man

(CHORUS)

^{Asus2 Esus}
Tim left town yesterday
^Dsus
He left me with these words
^{Asus2 Esus Dsus}
He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give
^{Asus2 Esus}
But my childhood is gone
^Dsus
And I'm not afraid of dying
^{Asus2 Esus Dsus}
I'm gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live

(CHORUS)

END.
