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
And let you know I was doing fine
F C
Cause baby it's been a long long time
G
Since you walked out my door
(pretty much repeated throughout. the end of the second line of each stanza is
sometimes C and sometimes F, so just listen.)
It took me some time I must confess
For a while there I was feeling less than my best
Had to get out of town so I headed out west
Ended up in Seattle
I thought I’d start a brand new band
Thought I might call it Lonelyland
Things got a little out of hand
Ended up hooked on heroin
So I ended up moving back over to Germany
Living with the folks baggin' groceries
But the time I had was mostly free
Spent most of it drinking
I got myself in a jam or two
Guess it's what I had to do
But late at night I’d still think of you
Felt like I was drowning
'Til I met this girl at a discotheque
She was a dancer, baby, but not what you'd expect
She taught ballet and she was half-Czech half Chinese
But after she decided not to have the baby
Said she might move back to the mainland maybe
By then I didn't really care I was half drunk, half crazy
I got arrested but never convicted
My parents eventually had me evicted
Tried your number it had been disconnected
Guess I should’ve known
I heard you got married and you moved away
I called your folks but where they would not say
Said it's probably better that way so I just let it be
I moved back to Austin 'bout a year ago
Drive a school bus, and I don't drink no more
I go out every once in a while and see a show but mostly I just watch TV
So I don't know where I’m gonna send this letter
Doubt things are ever gonna get much better
It seems like life's one big whatever anyway
I just thought I’d drop you a line
Lie and say I was doing fine
'Cause baby it's been a long long time
Since you walked out my door
