A teenage heart in America

Dm              Bb             F
All I want for Christmas is an AR-15

Dm           Bb           F
My stocking stuffed with fentanyl

Dm           Bb             F
Drop like a fly at the ripe age of sixteen

Walk straight to shameful

Undone like neckties

I got the ills and the chills

        Gm                       Dm
and my appetite ain't gonna last long

          F
I got the shakes and the quakes

        Gm
and the world in my wake

     Dm
So I think, I sweat and I pretend to sleep

        F               Gm
And I'm waiting to break like
