E----A (x2)


Verse 1:
E5
  I was locked all day in the summer heat
                                    A5
In a small brown house in Suburban Streets 

My skateboard and my shit guitar
                                         E5
I'd dream all day that they would get me far

My dad would ask me about my grades
                                A5
The asshole sports that I never played

And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date 
                                        E5
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late

It was near when I turned sixteen 
                                   A5
got kicked out of school And so it seemed

things were closing in And ready to blow 
                                    E5
My dad moved out about that year or so

It took an hour to start a punk rock band 
                              A5
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#5          B5                  A5
  If I had a chance for another try 
                    C#5
I wouldn?t change a thing 
             B5                 A5
It's made me all on who I am inside 
                     C#5
And if I could thank God 
          B5                    A5
That I am here, and that I am alive 
               C#5
And everyday I wake
         B5                      A5 (hold) 
I tell myself a little harmless lie 

The whole wide world is mine

Interlude:
E5 ---- A5 (x2)
Verse 2:
E5
  The summers gone, the years have passed 
                                   A5
My friends have changed, a few did last 

The smallest dreams got pushed aside 
                                     E5
for the largest ones that changed my life 

And all I wish for was come to pass 
                                A5
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 

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
E5
  Hey yo oh oh oh 
          A5
Hey yo oh oh 
Hey yo oh oh oh 
(Repeat)

(Repeat Chorus twice)
