Verse 1
My (E minor) Dad sold women's shoes, (A minor)
and traveled (D major) 9 months a year (G major)
When he (E minor) left my mom in (A minor) 71, I
(C minor) didn't shed one tear (D major)
He was a (E minor) man who married a teen
(A minor) age girl when (D major) he was (G major) 39
A (E minor) man like that doesn't (A minor) want a
wife (C major) he (C minor) wants a concubine (D major)
(E minor) He moved (B major) her to Bo (C major) ston,
away (G major) from her (A minor) friends and (G major) family,
He (E minor) isol (B major) ated her (C major) so in turn (A minor) she (G major) isol (C major) ated me (D major)
(G major) She (E minor) went to bars and (C major) house parties
and left her (A minor) infant (D major) all alone (G major)
She (E minor) joked that it was al (C major) right (A minor) cuz (G major) in my crib (C major)
(D major) (C minor) she left the receiver of the phone (D major)
He (E minor) was a (A minor) shit (E minor) head father,
who cre (B minor) ated a vengeful wife
(D major) That's (A major) why I proudly say when I was (C major) 14 and
saw (G major) X and the (D major) Subhumans at the whis (E minor) key
(E flat major) that was the night, (C major)
it may sound trite (C minor) but
Punk (E flatdim) Rock saved my life! (E minor) (C major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major)
(G major) At (E minor) (C major) 35 when my father said
he nev (D major) er wanted (G major) me,
(E minor) I remembered that I did (C major) n't
know (G major) him as well as his TV (B major)
Oth (E minor) er week (C major) ends I spent
in my grand (D major) dad's Pontiac
(B minor) (E minor) At least HE was proud (C major) to introduced
me to his friend (G major) s at the race track
He let (A minor) me bet 2 buck trifecta's and
(C major) his friends became my teachers
I did (G major) n't know I was the (D major) only (G major) 8 year old (E minor)
in the Santa (D major) Anita bleachers (C major)
Because a child doesn't know what normal (C minor) is
(G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (B minor) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (B major)
In (E minor) Beverly Hills (A minor) I grew up
(D major) feeling like a tour (G major) ist
Cuz my (E minor) friends parents were mil (A minor) lionaires
my (C minor) mo m was their manicur (D major) ist
She'd (E minor) hang with the Factors (A minor) and
the (D major) west side bourgeois (G major) ie
Since (E minor) she'd go out 5 nights (A minor)
a week she (C minor) got me my own TV (D major)
I (E minor) found her porn (B major) and sex (C major) toys
(G major) and began (A minor) to real (F sharp minor) ize then (G major)
After (E minor) she'd cook (B major) dinner,
she'd (C major) go out (A minor) to fuck (G major) older (C major) wealthy men (G major)
I (E minor) never had a babysit (C major) (G major) ter,
I had a latch key
It's so em (E minor) barrassing but she (C major) never
threw (A minor) me one (C major) birthday party (D major)
So (C minor) I spent my nights going to every
(D major) punk show I could find
(E minor) My new home was Hollywood,
(D major) around Selma and Vine
the (A major) Cathay, the Olympic and the vex (C major)
You see Punk (G major) Rock was never just music to me, (E minor)
it was my life, (E flat major)
my par (C major) ents were just relatives,
my family (E flatdim) was always NOFX
