Intro:

E----A (x2)


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 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

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

It?s all success if it?s 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)

(Repeat Chorus twice)
