[Verse 1]
Cm Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I D#sus2would've known cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
I didn't Cmtell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my D#sus2pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
UnaCmware, I just did what I always do
EveryD#sus2day, the same routine before I skate off to school
But who Cmknew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of D#sus2taking a test, I took two to the chest
Cm Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
EveryD#sus2body was running, but I couldn't hear nothing
ExceptCm gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't D#sus2really know this kid though I sit by him in class
Cm Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or D#sus2maybe for a moment he forgot who he was
Or Cmmaybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
WhatD#sus2ever it was. I know it's because

[Verse 2]
Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was D#sus2given the world with every chance to excel
Cm Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might D#sus2act kind of proud, but no respect for herself
Cm She finds love in all the wrong places
The D#sus2same situations just different faces
Cm Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too D#sus2bad he never told her she deserved much better
Cm Johnny boy always played the fool
He D#sus2broke all the rules, so you would think he was cool
Cm He was never really one of the guys
No matter D#sus2how hard he tried often thought of suicide
Cm It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his D#sus2life to an end. They might remember him then
Cm You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the D#sus2world how he felt with the sound of a gat

No D#sus2matter what you say it don't take away the pain
That ICm feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't noD#sus2body know why. It's the blind leading the blind
Cm I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it D#sus2ever make sense? Somebody's got to know
Cm There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to D#sus2be more to everything I thought exists
