[Gm] [A] [E]
[C] He started playing music around four.
He started with singing.
One, [Eb] two, three, four.
He cut a record [Am] called Look for Love.
Look for love.
Look for love.
[Cm] He had a really sweet voice and on the back side, the B side, is an interview with him.
[N] Billy Joe, you've just made your very first record.
How does it feel?
Wonderful.
I love it.
[C] [G] And he would [D] tour and sort of like a traveling [C] show with other [G] performers.
And my father would play drums.
What influences you to write about girls?
I know the what influences you question.
I [D] have the shittiest love life known to man.
I do.
I do.
I do, [N] Sean.
You've got a deep smile.
I'm a little serious.
I mean, it's really awful.
Fuck.
Oh no, man.
I love you.
[Gm] I [D] don't think about what we've been [Ab] through, man.
[Eb]
[F] [Bb]
[Bb] [Abm] Be very [Ebm] quiet.
No, [Eb] shh.
Don't say [F] a word.
Just be [Bb] quiet.
[Eb] You're fucking turning me into one of [Bb] those mud hippies.
I'm not going to become a mud hippie.
I don't care what you say.
Everybody say shut the fuck up and we'll stop playing.
[Eb] Okay, one, two, [Bbm] three.
Okay, [Gb] we're done.
Goodbye.
[B]
[Eb] As Green [Db] Day exploded into the [Eb] mainstream, 21-year-old Billy Joe [Db] decided he wanted to [Eb] solidify his long-distance relationship with [E] his girlfriend, Adrienne.
Adrienne was [B] something that had nothing to do with [Em] my band.
And I was totally in love with her, and I [E] wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
He called me and said, I really want you to move out to California.
Come out there.
I want to get married.
We got married a month later.
We didn't think about it.
We just did it.
[A] She got a ratty little dress, and we got married in my [E] backyard.
It was disorderly [Am] conduct and indecent [N] exposure.
I dropped my pick, and while I was just bending over to pick it up, I was like, what the hell, and I moved the audience.
I even forgot I even did it.
I go backstage, and I was hanging out with my wife.
And then this big guy comes in, this guy Jimmy, who works security for us on the road.
He comes in and he goes, you got to get out of here right now.
There's a car waiting for you.
So I go out there, I get in the car, and all these cops start surrounding the car.
They go, could you step out of the car, please?
And then as soon as they saw the cops come around the car, I was like, oh man, I pulled my pants down.
The cops said, there's this big fat woman [G] that's a cop.
And she's, well, it's time that we brought music back to common decency.
Maybe if you're a Michael [Eb] Bolton, I'd have some sympathy for you.
[Bm] [Eb]
[F] [F]
[N]
[G] [D] Can I brand you?
[Db] No.
[Gb] Come on, man.
I don't fucking [E] care.
But you put a [A] little Neos bar on it, it'll be fine.
[N] Four, three, two, one.
[G] [Em] Holy shit.
Dude, I'm sorry.
[D] What is it, first or second degree burn?
Is that on a scale of one to like ten?
That's bullshit.
[Ab] Yeah.
[A] Uncle Billy.
Jesus Christ, we've got four fucking [E] minutes left?
What the fuck am I going to [N] do with four fucking minutes?
Yeah, I'll bring your fucking usher back up here, god damn it.
I got at least one minute per fucking song, I'll tell you that right now.
I'll tell you one thing, I'll say Julio Cesar Chavez has got one fucking minute to knock out fucking, fucking some motherfucker from fucking Argentina, I'll tell you that.
One fucking minute?
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
You fucking [B] kidding me.
What the fuck?
Not [Gm] fucking Justin Bieber, you [A] motherfuckers.
[N]
And you became Green Day, which I always thought, maybe it's an urban myth, that it was about pot.
It was absolutely about pot.
All right.
Yeah.
I mean, I think our first, we were trying to be like the Cheech and Chong of punk rock for a while.
What is a gravity bong?
I've never heard of it.
You've never had a gravity bong hit before?
Is that when you're upside down?
No, it's like you take a two liter bottle, and you fill this bucket up full of water, and then you put a bowl at the top of it, and then you push down, and it shoots it straight into your lungs, and then you're completely fucked for a week.
[D]
[E] It's something [G] unpredictable, [E] but in the end [G] it's right.
[Em] I hope you [D] have the time [Gm] of your life.
