My heart ticks in beat with
These kids that I grew up with
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a big shot talent
But at the end of the day you know
Where we came from and where we call home

Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, we love you back

They'll say it's not worth
So we'll leave this town in ruins
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a big shot talent
But at the end of the day you know
These busted lips we take back home

Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, we love you back

I know you would be there either way
I'm so glad it seems like these time will never fade

    General Comment:Sorry, posted this incorrectly as a reply to a single post. :P But I think the guitar part at the beginning this song sounds a lot like the one played throughout Radiohead's "Million Dollar Question".

    He's still alive. I've met him a lot of times when he's come to NY for tour speakings.
    He's a cool dude. I love his books. I'm a fan of his and he's a really awesome guy.

    Chris is a really sweet guy. Honestly.

    His name is CHRISTOPHER GUTIERREZ.

    General Comment:According to FOB they were gonna write a tribute to their loyal fans, right when they started, and at the time it was only one guy, so Patrick was like "that song would go something like "Hey Chris", joking around, and they actually put that in the song.

    General Comment:I heard Chris was best friends with Pete.
    But their friendship ended and Pete hates him now because Chris had sex with Pete's girlfriend at the time Jeanae White.
    That's why Jeanae and Pete broke up.

    General Comment:Hey Chris isn't dead.
    He was in Arma Angelus with Pete and he played the bass.

    I'm pretty sure they hate each other now,

    [he was on release the bats too

    General Comment:Actually, you are all actually partially correct, and partially wrong about who Chris really is. Chris is actually Andy Hurley's cousing, Chris Hurley. FOB dedicated this song to him when he deployed to Iraq. How do i know this information? I am one of Staff Sergeant Hurley's close friends, and co-worker. He and I deployed to Iraq together when FOB dedicated this to him. Chris attends as many FOB concerts as possible, so yes, he was present when they sang it to him! So is he a tight friend with the band? yes. Did he die in a war? no, but we have seen our fair chare of it, but have come home alive. He was there when FOB was just a garage band, so of course he knows everything about them, and where they all call home! SO there you have it, the real fact about who Chris really is...

    General Comment:This is awesome. I thought HeyChris was the dude Pete was alleged to have had a fight with on the internet either about some of FOBs music or that he messed around with HeyChris' gal or something. Either way, I'm pretty sure it's about the friendship they lost coz I thought he was an old friend of the band but they had a messy court case about something. This song rocks anyway. :-D

    General Comment:in relation to some of the comments on this song. i'm a very devoted fallout boy fan. ive got all thier albums. well all the ones ai can get in england. however, ive seen them live 3 times, 2 at reading and 1nce at brixton academy. at brixton, they werent as good as i expected them to be, a bit of a let down. they didnt even do an encore! nonetheless i still love them. they are from perfect. but thats good because theyd be boring otherwise. long live F.O.B
