The year’s 2002
Am

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
Am. F
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
C. G
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
