Adam's Song

Adams Song by Blink-182 deals with themes of depression and suicide, partly inspired by Mark Hoppuss feelings of loneliness seeing his friends go off to college while he stayed behind to work on the band. It was also inspired by a suicide letter Hoppus had read.

Key: D

 D5                     G5                             B5 
      I never thought, I' d die alone
                               G5                                     D5 
I laughed the loudest, who' d have known?
                             G5                             B5 
I traced the cord back to the wall
                                     G5                                 D5 
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
                       G5                         B5 
I took my time, I hurried up
                                 G5                                       D5 
The choice was mine, I didn' t think enough
                         G5                   B5 
I' m too depressed to go on
                       G5 
You' ll be sorry when I' m gone

I couldn' t wait till I got home
                           G 
To pass the time in my room alone

      I never thought, I' d die alone
                           G5                               D5 
Another six months I' ll be unknown
                             G5                             B5 
Give all my things to all my friends
                                       G5                             D5 
You' ll never step foot in my room again
                                 G5                       B5 
You' ll close it off, board it up
                             G5                                           D5 
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
                     G5                     B5 
Of apple juice in the hall?
                           G5 
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
                                                         D 
We couldn' t wait to get outside
                               Em                                 Bm 
The world was wide, too late to try
                           G                         D 
The tour was over we' d survived
                         Em                           Bm 
I couldn' t wait till I got home
                           G 
To pass the time in my room alone
 D                   Em                               Bm 
    I never conquered, rarely came
                     G                                 D 
Tomorrow holds such better days
                     Em                                     Bm 
Days when I could still feel alive
                             G                           D 
When I can' t wait to get outside
                             Em                                   Bm 
The world is wide, the time goes by
                         G                   D 
The tour is over I survived
                           Em                           Bm 
And I can' t wait till I get home
                           G                               D 
To pass the time in my room alone
