American Teen
[Verse 1]
G
Living the good life full of goodbyes
C
My eyes are on the grey skies
Bm D
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
G
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
C
I don't even remember
Bm D
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
Bm
Where all the girls are pretty
D
And they're down for the hype
G
All my boys are with me
C
Going up for the night
Bm D
But who cares, who cares
G
'Cause this is our year
[Chorus]
C Bm
So wake me up in the spring
D G
While I'm high off my American dream
G C
We don't always say what we mean
Bm D
That's the lie of an American teen
[Verse 2]
G
Maybe the end is near
C
But I've been waiting all year
Bm
To get the hell up out of here
D
And throw away my fears
G
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
C
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
Bm
Maybe I'm not really drunk
D
Maybe I'm really good at faking

Where all the girls are pretty
D
And they're down for the hype
