[Verse 1]
G#m C#m F# B
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
G#m C#m Em F#
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
G#m C#m F# B
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
G#m C#m Em F#
B man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
G#m E C# B
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
G#m E F#
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
G#m E C# B
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
G#m C#m E F# Em F#
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
G#m D#m
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
C# E
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
B F#m G#m
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
G E G G# E G# F#
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
G# E F# G#
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
E B D#
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
G#m E F# D#m
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
G#m E B D#
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
C#m E
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
B F# G#m E
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
Em B G# C# B E B C#m E D#
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
G#m C#m F#7 B F#
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
G#m C#m Em F#
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
G#m C#m F# B
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
G#m C#m Em F#
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
G#m E C#m A# B
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
G#m E B
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
G#m E C#m A# B
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
G#m E F#
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
Em F#
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
G#m F#
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
C# E
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
B G#m G
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
E G G#m
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
