Angels & Airwaves - Rite of spring

^EI was locked all day in the summer heat In a small brown house in Suburban S^Atreets 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

^C#m If I had a ^Bchance for another ^Atry I wouldn’t change ^C#ma thing It's made me ^Ball on who I am in^Aside And if I could thank ^C#mGod That I am ^Bhere, and that I am a^Alive And everyday I ^C#mwake B A(hold) I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine

^EThe summers gone, the years have passed My friends have changed, a few did ^Alast The smallest dreams got pushed aside for the largest ones that changed my ^Elife And all I wish for was come to pass From rock and roll, to love and ^Acash It’s all success if it’s what you need Do what you like and do it honestly

^E Hey yo oh oh oh Hey yo oh ^Aoh Hey yo oh oh oh (Repeat)
