Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt. For much of the band's career, they have been a trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Guitarist Jason White, who has been a touring member since 1999, was an official member from 2012 to 2016.
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California.

[Verse] EG# Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
AB Reminds me of the time we shared. B Makes me wish that you were here. Well, EG# Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. A All the songs have been erased. B Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
[Chorus]
C#E(7/9) BA Open the past and present. Now and we are there. F#AE(7/9) Story to tell and I am listening C#E(7/9) BA Open the past and present. And the future too. F#AE(9/7) It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
[Verse 2]
EG# Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat. AB Gagging on a souvenir. B Lodged to fill another year. EG# Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreads. A Leaving myself open wide B Living out a sacrifice.
