Verse 1:
  EI was locked all day in the summer heat
In a small brown house in Suburban SAtreets
My skateboard and my shit guitar
I'd dream all day that they would get me Efar
My dad would ask me about my grades
The asshole sports that I never Aplayed
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date
Behind our backs when mom would stay up Elate
It was near when I turned sixteen
got kicked out of school And so it Aseemed
things were closing in And ready to blow
My dad moved out about that year or Eso
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
To offset my fucked up family Aland
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life

Verse 1:

I was locked all day in the summer heat

In a small brown house in Suburban Streets

My skateboard and my shit guitar

I'd dream all day that they would get me far

My dad would ask me about my grades

The asshole sports that I never played

And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date

Behind our backs when mom would stay up late

It was near when I turned sixteen

got kicked out of school And so it seemed

things were closing in And ready to blow

My dad moved out about that year or so

It took an hour to start a punk rock band

To offset my fucked up family land

And as I held my mom would start to cry

I swore ourselves a better life

Chorus:

C#m B A

If I had a chance for another try

C#m

I wouldn’t change a thing

B A

It's made me all on who I am inside

C#m

And if I could thank God

B A

That I am here, and that I am alive

C#m

And everyday I wake

B A(hold)

I tell myself a little harmless lie

The whole wide world is mine
