Chords

[Intro]
            F
Living the good life full of goodbyes
My eyes are on the grey skies
          G
Saying I don't want to come home tonight

               F
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
I don't even remember
         G
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride. 
[Pre-Chorus]
                  F
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5

                        G
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
                F
All my boys are with me
Going up for the night
        G
But who cares, who cares

                   F
'Cause this is our year. 
[Chorus]
C                    G
So wake me up in the spring

                               F                      
While I'm high off my American dream

C                           G
We don't always say what we mean

                              F
That's the lie of an American teen

           F
Maybe the end is near
But I've been waiting all year
          G
To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
         F
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)

                   C
Off of all the things that I've taken and

         G
Maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking
           F            C
From the city of the 915

                        G
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
                F
All my boys are with me

                  C
Going up for the night

         G
But who cares, who cares

                   F
'Cause this is our year
[Chorus]
C                    G

It's the life of an American teen (American teen)

C                             G
