Intro
D# F Gm F D# D C D
[Verse 1]
Gm Cm F A#
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
Gm Cm D#m F
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
Gm Cm F A#
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
Gm Cm D#m F
A# man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
Gm D# C A#
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
Gm D# F
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
Gm D# C A#
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
Gm Cm D# F D#m F
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
C D#
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
A# Fm Gm
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
F# D# F# G D# G F
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
G D# F G
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
D# A# D
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
Gm D# F Dm
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
Gm D# A# D
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
Cm D#
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
A# F Gm D#
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
D#m A# G C A# D# A# Cm D# D
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
Gm Cm F7 A# F
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
Gm Cm D#m F
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
Gm Cm F A#
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
Gm Cm D#m F
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
Gm D# Cm A A#
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
Gm D# A#
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
Gm D# Cm A A#
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
Gm D# F
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
D#m F
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
Gm F
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
C D#
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
A# Gm F#
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
D# F# Gm
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
