[Verse 1]
Bm Em A D
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
Bm Em Gm A
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
Bm Em A D
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
Bm Em Gm A
D man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
Bm G E D
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
Bm G A
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
Bm G E D
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
Bm Em G A Gm A
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
E G
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
D Am Bm
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
A# G A# B G B A
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
B G A B
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
G D F#
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
Bm G A F#m
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
Bm G D F#
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
Em G
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
D A Bm G
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
Gm D B E D G D Em G F#
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
Bm Em A7 D A
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
Bm Em Gm A
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
Bm Em A D
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
Bm Em Gm A
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
Bm G Em C# D
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
Bm G D
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
Bm G Em C# D
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
Bm G A
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
Gm A
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
Bm A
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
E G
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
D Bm A#
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
G A# Bm
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
