Solitude - Edwin McCainIntro |A Bm|D|
1. Strophe
A Bm D
Tim, he was a good friend, yeah was a brother of mine,
A Bm D
we were imaginary comic book super heroes, kids wasting time.

'til the day he was taken away, for something he did wrong.
A Bm D
Oh alright!

A Bm D
Tim came 'round just the other day and boy he had some stories to tell.

His mama kept him locked up in a rehab although the doctors said he was well.

and I put all that behind me just tell me what was it like to go to your prom.
