[Verse 1]
C#m F#m B E
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
C#m F#m Am B
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
C#m F#m B E
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
C#m F#m Am B
E man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
C#m A F# E
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
C#m A B
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
C#m A F# E
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
C#m F#m A B Am B
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
C#m G#m
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
F# A
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
E Bm C#m
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
C A C C# A C# B
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
C# A B C#
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
A E G#
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
C#m A B G#m
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
C#m A E G#
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
F#m A
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
E B C#m A
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
Am E C# F# E A E F#m A G#
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
C#m F#m B7 E B
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
C#m F#m Am B
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
C#m F#m B E
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
C#m F#m Am B
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
C#m A F#m D# E
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
C#m A E
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
C#m A F#m D# E
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
C#m A B
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
Am B
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
C#m B
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
F# A
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
E C#m C
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
A C C#m
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
