Am C/G Fmaj7 Dm9 Fmaj7
Am C/G Fmaj7 Dm9 Fmaj7
Verse 1
C5 F5 A5
I never thought I'd die alone
F5 C5
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
F5 A5
I trace the cord back to the wall
F5 C5
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
F5 A5
I took my time, I hurried up
F5 C5
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
F5 A5
I'm too depressed to go on
F5
You'll be sorry when I'm
Csus4 Dm Am Fmaj7
gone
Csus4 Dm Am Fmaj7
Chorus 1
C5 D5 A5
I never conquered, rarely came
F5 C5
Sixteen just held such better days
D5 A5
Days when I still felt alive
F5 C
We couldn't wait to get outside
Dm Am
The world was wide, too late to try
F C
The tour was over, we'd survived
Dm Am
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
F
To pass the time in my room alone

Verse 2
C5 F5 A5
I never thought I'd die alone
F5 C5
Another six months I'll be unknown
F5 A5
Give all my things to all my friends
F5 C5
You'll never step foot in my room again
F5 A5
You'll close it off, board it up
F5 C5
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
F5 A5
Of apple juice in the hall
F5
Please tell mom this is not her
Csus4 Dm Am F6
fault
Csus4 Dm Am F6

The world was wide, too late to try

I never conquered, rarely came

Tomorrow holds such better days

Days when I can still feel alive

When I can't wait to get outside

The world is wide, the time goes by
F C
The tour is over, I've survived

I can't wait 'til I get home

Blink-182 recorded Adam’s Song in 1998, during the production of their third album. The song is part of Enema of the State, the band's first international record label album. At that time, the group already had the drummer Travis Barker, who had replaced Scott Raynor a year earlier. The band worked with producer Jerry Finn, who had been behind Dookie by Green Day. The recording of Enema of the State lasted three months, between studios in San Diego and Los Angeles. Adam’s Song was released in 1999, along with other songs that marked the band's style during that period.
