Bob Schneider – 2002 (Guitar)

F          C
The year’s 2002

Am                     F
I'm doing exactly what I wanna do

 F                    C              G
And baby I don't even think about you anymore

F                     C
Just thought I’d drop you a line

Am                     C
let you know that I was doing fine

F                            C
Cause baby it's been a long long time

                 G
Since you walked out my door

F                      C
It took me some time I must confess

                                   C
Had to get out of town so I headed out west

           G
Ended up in Seattle

F                     C
I thought I’d start a brand new band

Am                      F
Thought I might call it Lonelyland

                        C
But things got a little out of hand

                   G
Ended up hooked on heroin

F                    C
So I ended up moving back over to Germany

Am                    F
Living with the folks baggin' groceries

                       C
But the time I had was mostly free

      G
Spent most of it drinking

F                 C
I got myself in a jam or two

Am              F
Guess it's what I had to do

                      C
But late at night I’d still think of you

          G
Felt like I was drowning

F                         C
'Til I met this girl at a discotheque

Am                      F
She was a dancer, baby, but not what you'd expect

                              C               G
She taught ballet and she was half-Czech half Chinese

F                     C
But after she decided not to have the baby

Am                              F
Said she might move back to the mainland maybe

                             C                 G
By then I didn't really care I was half drunk, half crazy

F                  C
I got arrested but never convicted

Am                        F
My parents eventually had me evicted

                         C
Tried your number it had been disconnected

G
Guess I should’ve known

F                             C
Heard you got married and you moved away

Am                      F
I called your folks but where they would not say

                        C                         G
They said it's probably better that way so I just let it be

F                       C
I moved back to Austin 'bout a year ago

Am                              F
Drive a school bus, and I don't drink no more

                                   C                            G
I go out every once in a while and see a show but mostly I just watch TV

F                         C
So I don't know where I’m gonna send this letter

Am                            F
I doubt things are ever gonna get much better

F                       C
I just thought I’d drop you a line

Am                F
Lie and say I was doing fine

                        C
'Cause baby it's been a long long time

         G                 C 
Since you walked out my door
