[Verse]
D                 A             Bm           G
  Woke up this morning with the strangest feeling
D               A         Bm         G
  I had a nightmare but I wasn’t dreaming
D               A      Bm          G
  I ran outside to see, it’s not 2003
D                 A         Bm      G
  Turned on the radio, it’s so confusing
D               A        Bm        G
Rappers were singing and rockers DJing
D               A        Bm              G
There’s no guitar on the songs they’re playing
D                    A         Bm        G
  I called my shrink to see if I was healthy
D                 A           Bm        G
  I called my mom and she was taking selfies
 
 
[Chorus]
D           A
Grew up on MTV
Bm            G
When they had Eazy-E
D         A                   Bm                G
In California yeh, they still knew how to throw a party
D           A
When it was gin and juice
Bm         G
And we had Dre and Snoop
D         A                   Bm                G
In California yeh, they still knew how to throw a party
D      A       Bm          G
O oh oh last night I had a 40 oz.
D      A       Bm          G
O oh oh last night I had a 40 oz. dream
 
 
[Verse]
D             A                Bm   G
  Now all the punk rockers are over 40
D                  A                 Bm      G
  They’re coaching little league and reading stories
D              A           Bm     G
  When did the neighbourhood ever sound so good
D               A                  Bm      G
  Looked on the corner and there’s no more junkies
D              A               Bm          G
More girls and more grunge and bottles and more fun
D           A                Bm           G
Needles and squatters pissed off at their fathers
D           A                  Bm     G
  I can’t believe it man, it’s all so boring
D              A              Bm        G
  Went down to Gilman, ya the cops were snoring

D      A       Bm          G
O oh oh last night I had a 40 oz. dream
