>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man.
		I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was fat.

>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have the chance. I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert You didn't have to but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		That's my little brother, man. He's only 6 years old.
		We waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours and ya just said no.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol
		He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I ain't that mad, but I just don't like bein' lied to.
		Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		You would write back. See, I'm just like you in a way.
		I never knew my father neither. He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs.
		So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed. I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
		It's like adrenaline. The Pain is such a sudden rush for me.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it. My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does.
		She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		You've gotta call me man. I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose. Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together too. [Chorus] (soft guitar + rain + little drums)

(2)		Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
		This'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?
		I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you hear it.
		I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		Hey Slim, "I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to drive?"
		You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In The Night"?
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning? But didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him?
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me from drowning. Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
		I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the wall.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		I love you Slim, we could have been together. Think about it. You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't breathe without me.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		See Slim, (screaming) shut up bitch, I'm trying to talk
		Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you. 'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now.
		Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
!		<G#m   E   Eadd9-   E> (car crash)
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E

>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy. You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that. And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it on your Starter cap.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have missed you. Don't think I did that shit intentionally, just to diss you.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		And what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that shit just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how fucked up is you?
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
		To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
		That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I really think you and your girlfriend need each other.
		Or maybe you just need to treat her better.
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		I hope you get to read this letter. I just hope it reaches you in time. Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'd be doin' just fine
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		If you'd relax a little. I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		I just don't want you to do some crazy shit.
		I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick.
>		G#m   E   F#   B   B/Bb
		Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
		And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
>		G#m   E   Eadd9-   E
		And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to Come to think about it... his name was... it was you. DAMN!

Перевод:	Стэн

		Мой чай остыл, и я все думаю, зачем я вообще
		сегодня встал
		За окном все в тучах и ничего не видно,

		И даже если бы было видно, все равно все
		кругом серое, кроме твоего фото у меня на
		стене
		Оно напоминает мне, что не все так плохо
		не все так плохо

!		(Эминем - за Стэна)
		Дорогой Слим, я тебе уже писал, но ты все не
		звонишь
		Я там в конце написал номер моего мобильника,
		пейджера и домашнего телефона
		Я отправил два письма еще осенью, наверное,
		ты их не получил
		Наверное, были проблемы с почтой или что-то
		ещё

		Иногда я пишу адрес очень неразборчиво, когда
		тороплюсь
		Ну ладно, к черту это, как дела? Как твоя
		дочурка?
		Моя подружка тоже беременна, я скоро стану
		отцом

		Если у меня родится дочь, угадай, как я ее
		назову?
		Я собираюсь назвать ее Бонни, я читал про
		твоего дядю Ронни - сочувствую
		Один мой друг, наложил на себя руки из-за
		какой-то стервы, которая не хотела быть с ним
		Я знаю, ты, наверное, слышишь это каждый
		день, но я твой самый большой поклонник
		У меня даже есть та идиотская
		андерграундовая музыка, которую ты записал
		вместе со Скэмом
		У меня вся комната увешана твоими плакатами и
		фотографиями
		Еще мне нравится та дрянь, которую ты записал
		с Рокусом, первосортная гадость,
		Ладно, я надеюсь, ты это получишь, черкни
		пару строк, просто пообщаемся, искренне твой,
		твой самый большой поклонник,
		Стэн.

!		Припев: Дайдо

!		(Эминем - за Стэна)
		Дорогой Слим, ты все еще не позвонил и не
		написал, надеюсь, у тебя всё же будет такая
		возможность,
		Я не злюсь - я просто думаю, что не отвечать
		поклонникам - это ****
		Не хочешь разговаривать со мной после
		концерта - не надо, но мог бы дать автограф
		Мэттью,

		Это мой младший брат, ему всего шесть
		Мы ждали тебя на самом холоде четыре часа, а
		ты просто сказал (Нет).
		Это очень плохо - ты, видно, строишь из себя
		всеобщего кумира
		А мой братик, - он хочет быть таким же как
		ты, он любит тебя даже больше, чем я,
		Но я не злюсь, я просто не люблю, когда мне
		врут

		Помнишь, когда мы встречались в Денвере - ты
		сказал, что если я напишу, то ты мне
		ответишь - понимаешь, мы в чем-то очень
		похожи - я тоже никогда не знал своего отца,
		он все время обманывал мать, и бил ее
		Все, что ты поешь в своих песнях - про меня,
		так что когда у меня плохой день, я
		отключаюсь и слушаю твои песни, больше ничего
		нет, так что это твоя дрянная музыка помогает
		мне, когда я в депрессии
		Я даже вытатуировал твое имя на груди
		Иногда я режу себе вены, и смотрю сколько
		крови натечет
		Это как адреналин, боль даёт мне такой
		необычный кайф
		Понимаешь, все, что ты говоришь, - правда, и
		я тебя уважаю, за то, что ты об этом говоришь
		Моя девчонка уже ревнует, потому что я говорю
		о тебе 24 часа в сутки, семь дней в неделю
		Но она тебя не знает так, как я. Никто не
		знает.

		Она не знает, через что нам пришлось пройти в
		детстве
		Ты должен мне позвонить, чувак, я буду самым
		большим поклонником, которого ты когда-либо
		терял
		Искренне твой, Стэн
		P.S. И еще - мы должны быть вместе.

!		Припев: Дайдо

!		(Эминем - за Стэна)
		Дорогой
		Мистер-Слишком-Важный-Чтобы-Звонить-Или-Писат
		ь-Своим-Поклонникам,
		Это моё последнее послание
		За шесть месяцев ни слова - я что, этого не
		заслужил?
		Я знаю, два последних письма ты получил
		Я написал адрес на них идеально
		Я тебе пошлю эту кассету, надеюсь, ты ее
		послушаешь
		Я сейчас в машине на шоссе, скорость - 90
		Эй, Слим, я набрался водки, как думаешь, ты
		позволил бы мне сесть за руль в таком
		состоянии?
		Знаешь песню Фила Коллинза (В воздухе ночи)?

		Это про парня, который мог спасти другого
		парня, который тонул
		Но он этого не сделал, а Фил все это видел, а
		потом встретил этого парня на концерте
		Это как у нас, ты мог не дать мне утонуть

		А теперь уже слишком поздно - я наглотался
		транквилизаторов, я засыпаю
		А все, что мне было нужно - одно паршивое
		письмо или звонок
		Хочу, чтоб ты знал: я сорвал ВСЕ твои фото со
		стен

		Я люблю тебя, Слим, мы могли быть вместе,
		подумай об этом
		Ты все испортил, надеюсь ты потеряешь сон, и
		потому что во сне ты будешь думать об этом
		И когда тебе это приснится, я надеюсь, ты
		больше не уснешь, и будешь КРИЧАТЬ от этого
		Надеюсь, твоя совесть будет тебя ГЛОДАТЬ и ты
		НЕ ВЗДОХНЕШЬ без меня
		Видишь ли, Слим:
		(* крики*) Заткнись, стерва! Я говорю!
		Эй, Слим, это моя девчонка вопит в багажнике
		но я не перерезал ей глотку, я ее просто
		связал, видишь, я не такой, как ты, потому
		что если её душить, то она будет страдать
		дольше, а потом всё равно умрет.
		Ну ладно, мне пора, я уже почти добрался до
		моста.
		Черт, я забыл, как же я отошлю это дерьмо?

!		(*визг шин*) (*УДАР*): (*временное затишье*):
!		(*громкий ВСПЛЕСК*):

!		Припев: Дайдо

!		(Эминем)
		Дорогой Стэн, я хотел написать тебе раньше,
		но был очень занят
		Говоришь, твоя девушка беременна? Какой
		месяц?

		Слушай, мне очень лестно, что ты хочешь
		назвать дочку именно так
		А вот и автограф для твоего брата
		Я написал его на бейсболке
		Извини, что не видел тебя на концерте, просто
		не заметил, наверное,
		Не думай, что я сделал это специально, чтобы
		позлить тебя
		А что за чушь ты там упоминал насчет
		порезанных вен? Я говорил эту чушь не
		всерьез, брось - ты чего такой задерганный
		У тебя проблемы, Стэн, я думаю, тебе нужна
		помощь
		Чтобы ты не скатился окончательно

		И что это за треп насчет того, что мы должны
		быть вместе?
		Из-за таких вещей я вообще не захочу с тобой
		встречаться
		Я правда думаю, что ты и твоя подружка нужны
		друг другу, или тебе бы стоило относиться к
		ней получше
		Надеюсь, ты прочтешь это письмо, надеюсь, оно
		придет вовремя, до того, как ты всерьез
		навредишь себе
		Я думаю, у тебя все будет прекрасно, если ты
		слегка расслабишься, я рад, что вдохновляю
		тебя, но Стэн, почему ты так бесишься?
		Попытайся понять, я очень хочу, чтобы ты был
		моим поклонником; я просто не хочу, чтобы ты
		вляпался в какое-нибудь серьезную историю
		Как та, что я видел в новостях пару недель
		назад, меня чуть не стошнило
		Какой-то пьяный тип свалился на своей машине
		в реку, его девчонка была в багажнике, и она
		была беременна от него, в машине нашли
		кассету, но они не сказали, кому она была
		адресована. Подумай об этом, его звали: это
		был ты
		Черт!
