verse 1 :
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 fxxked 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 wouldnt 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

interlude : E – – – – A ( x2 )

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
its all success if its what you need
do what you like and do it honestly

( repeat chorus )

bridge :
E
hey yo oh oh oh
A
hey yo oh oh
hey yo oh oh oh
( repeat )
