Intro: G Asus Cadd9 (x4)
Verso 1:
G Asus Cadd9
Nineteen-ninety-four
G Asus Cadd9
I felt so insecure
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
Growing in my hometown like a cancer
G Asus Cadd9
Something so unsure
G Asus Cadd9
Was knocking at my door
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
Eleven years old then and it was time to answer
Intro: G Asus Cadd9 (x2)
Verso 2:
G Asus Cadd9
I found my escape
G Asus Cadd9
In that Green Day tape
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
When the songs would end we'd just rewind them
G Asus Cadd9
Kids with purple hair
G Asus Cadd9
Were all out there somewhere
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
And I would be goddamned if I didn't find them
Ponte:
Em
Up until that time
Cadd9
I had no peace of mind
G G/A
I was stuck inside of something I didn't sign up for
Em
So I met this kid with dreads
Cadd9
And I can't forget what he said
G G/A
When I told him I didn't want to feel strange anymore
Cadd9 G
You're never gonna be normal
Cadd9 G
You're never gonna be normal
Cadd9 D Cadd9
You're never gonna be normal cause you're a punk
Intro: G Asus Cadd9 (x4)
Verso 3:
G Asus Cadd9
I started going to shows
G Asus Cadd9
And taping songs off the radio
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
And then I figured out the radio was bullshit
G Asus Cadd9
I picked up a guitar
G Asus Cadd9
And played it with my heart
G Asus Cadd9 G Asus Cadd9
I got inside my car and I stared driving
Ponte:
Em
Twenty years and change
Cadd9
Well this is more than just a fucking phase
G G/A
I found something that I can believe in
Em
When things are getting tough
Cadd9
And I feel like giving up
G G/A
I remember what my one friend said to me
(And this is what he said)
Cadd9 G
You're never gonna be normal
Cadd9 G
You're never gonna be normal
Cadd9 D Cadd9
You're never gonna be normal cause you're a punk
Outro

You're never gonna be normal
