Lyrics: 
 
A9         Esus 
Tim he was a good friend 
Dsus 
Yea was a brother of mine 
         A9              Esus 
We were imaginary comic book superheroes 
Dsus 
Kids wasting time 
        A9          Esus 
We were prisoners of our youth 
Dsus 
We were growing up strong 
A9             Esus 
'Til the day he was taken away 
Dsus 
For something he did wrong.. Oh alright.. 
 
 
A9                 Esus 
Tim came 'round just the other day 
    Dsus 
And boy he had some stories to tell 
A9                        Esus 
His mama kept him locked up in a rehab 
            Dsus 
Although the doctors said he was well 
A9                      Esus 
He said yeah I been through the anger 
     Dsus 
And the hatred towards my mom 
A9              Esus 
And I put all that behind me 
             Dsus 
Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom 
 
Chorus: 
A9                 Esus 
He said thank you mom for fixing 
   Esus/F# 
My clouded broken mind 
A9                   Esus    Dsus 
But excuse me if I seem a little rude 
A9                 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         A9  
Well growing up these days just ain't easy 
     F#m            G         A9  
And the kids they're doing the best that they can 
 F#m            G         A9  
So mama you better think twice 
G                             A9  
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) 
 

A9        Esus 
Tim left town yesterday 
Dsus 
He left me with these words 
A9                                Esus    Dsus 
He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give 
A9             Esus 
But my childhood is gone 
        Dsus 
And I'm not afraid of dying 
A9                        Esus                 Dsus 
I'm gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live 
 
(Chorus) 
 
END.
