[B]
[F#] [G] Here's what modern day [Bm] punk rock's done to [C] me.
I've grown up in [D] front of a computer [G] screen and know everything [Bm] about every [C] scene and
it's all the [D] same if you know what I [G] mean.
I've seen a million [Bm] faces and a few hundred [C] fans.
I've spent my early [D] 20s in a beat up [G] van but now I'm [Em] working on my punk rock [G] retirement
[Am] plan cause [G] the rhythm I wrote is [D] coming [G] to an end.
[C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G] I bought myself [Bm] a guitar and I sold my [C] soul.
A bassist and [D] a drummer and a common [G] goal.
Set to conquer the [Bm] world playing rock and [C] roll.
But the road gets [D] old and it takes its [G] toll.
And when I wasn't [Bm] looking life went by too [C] fast.
I guess that nothing [D] positive is meant to [Em] last and now I'm reminiscing, mixing over
[G] photographs [Am] of a [G] time I had [C] hope but [D] that's a [G] time long past.
[C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G] So I'm giving out [Bm] the flyers to promote my [C] shows while I follow the [D] direction that my heroes [G] go.
From the Kurt [Bm] Cobain's to the Billy [C] Jo's to the Iggy [D] Pops and the Joey [G] Ramones.
I wrote a song [Bm] or two about not growing [C] up, about getting fucked [D] up and not giving a [G] fuck
and [Bm] I'll always be your [Em] poser cause my [G] band is too [Am] popped and it's [G] just another [C] drug that
[D] I can't [G] seem to stop.
[C] [D] [G] [C] [Dm] [G] Played with hardcore [Bm] ska, straight edge grind and [C] thrash and screamo metal, [D] indie hipster
math rock [G] crap but I never cared [Bm] much for any of [C] that.
I just did my [D] thing and tried to stay on [G] track.
I kissed a lot of [Bm] women when I went on [C] tour and sometimes I'd [D] lose, other times I'd score.
[G] Now they're [Em] tearing down my picture from their [G] bedroom door [Am] cause my [G] music once [D] ruled but
it ain't cool [G] no more.
[C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G] Made a bargain with [Bm] fate thinking I'd go [C] far because they [D] always told me I would be a [G] star.
From the social [Bm] halls to the empty [C] bars but I'm doing 9 [D] to 5 cause I followed my [G] heart.
I've seen the [B] highs and I've seen the [C] lows as the trends will [D] come and the fads will
go [G] but I'll [C] never give it up [G] because it's all that I know [Am] and I'm sure [G] you won't [E] go
but see ya at [G] the show.
[C]
[D] [G] [C] [D] [C] And in the end I guess [D] I'll still be spinning wheels [Bm] while the bands I grew up playing [Em] with
get record [C] deals but I'll be [D] rocking out like I don't give [C] a fuck.
I should go [D] back to college and just give it [C] up but I was born ambitious [D] baby, ain't it just [G] my luck.
Your tangents on your songs sometimes just really surprise [Gm] me.
The what?
They're just amazing.
Oh where they end up going you mean?
Yeah, yeah they're called Ribfest.
You're a fucking amazing storyteller musician.
Thanks dude.
