You’re (A)just not that same (E)per son, the (F#m)guy I used to know.

I’m (D)not in love with (A)Rob bie now but (D)Rob bie sev en (E)years a go.

You could have been in Möt ley Crüe or (F#5)Da vid Lee Roth’s re place ment, but in (D5)stead you sing while (A5)peo ple chew, and you (B5)live in your grand ma’s base ment.

I (A)hope this note is (E)some thing that (F#m)you can rise a (C#m)bove.

(A)Signed, your pal, (F#m)Lin da.
