Lyrics:

[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.
