E
I was locked all day in the summer heat
A
In a small brown house in Suburban Streets
My skateboard and my shit guitar
E
I'd dream all day that they would get me far
My dad would ask me about my grades
A
The asshole sports that I never played
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date
E
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late
It was near when I turned sixteen
A
got kicked out of school And so it seemed
things were closing in And ready to blow
E
My dad moved out about that year or so
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
A
To offset my fucked up family land
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life
Chorus:
C#m B A
If I had a chance for another try
C#m
I wouldn t change a thing
B A
It's made me all on who I am inside
C#m
And if I could thank God
B A
That I am here and that I am alive
C#m
And everyday I wake
B A(hold)
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
Verse 2:
E
The summers gone the years have passed
A
My friends have changed a few did last
The smallest dreams got pushed aside
E
for the largest ones that changed my life
And all I wish for was come to pass
A
From rock and roll to love and cash
It s all success if it s what you need
Do what you like and do it honestly
Bridge:
E
Hey yo oh oh oh
A
Hey yo oh oh
Hey yo oh oh oh
(Repeat)
