[Verse 1]
F Living the good life full of goodbyes Em My eyes are on the grey skies G Saying I don't want to come home tonight C F Yeah, and I'm high up, off what? Em I don't even remember G But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
[Pre-Chorus]
C F Em 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 Em Going up for the night G But who cares, who cares Em '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 C F That's the lie of an American teen
[Verse 2]
F Maybe the end is near Em 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) Em Off of all the things that I've taken, and G Maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking
[Pre-Chorus]
C F Em 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 Em 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 C F That's the lie of an American
That's the lie of an American
My youth is the foundation of me
C F Oh, I'm proud to be American
[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 C F That's the lie of an American teen Em G My youth is the foundation of me F Living life as an American teen C G American teen (American teen)
[Outro]
C G F American Teenager Em C G And I'll be living this dream with you
[Chant]
E Cm Gm We don't always say what we mean C When we're high off our American teen Em G My youth is the foundation of me C Oh, I'm proud to be American
