F C Em Am Em F C Em Am Em

[Verse 1]
F                               C
I guess we're stuck in this deadbeat place
            Em
Where the streets don't change
       Am            Em
And every day's the same
F                     C
I wish I could be anywhere new
          Em
There's nothing to do but
Am                Em
It's better with you

[Pre-Chorus]
F                          C
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
Em                                  Am         Em
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
F                     C
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Em                    Am
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go

[Chorus]
      Em           F
And I hate this place
F
I've outgrown these walls
C
Planning my escape
                       Em
'Cause my world's too small
Am                              Em
And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
               F C Em Am Em
I hate this place

[Verse 2]
F                       C
I spend my Tuesdays at Dairy Queen
Em                          Am                    Em
Live the teenage dream, laughing in my passenger seat
F                                C
We drive around like there's something to see
Em                            Am       Em
And the people make me forget I wanna leave

[Pre-Chorus]
F                           C
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
Em                        Am                   Em
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
F                     C
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Em
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go

[Chorus]
F
And I hate this place
C
I've outgrown these walls
Em
Planning my escape
Am                      Em
'Cause my world's too small

And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
              F C Em Am
I hate this place

[Bridge]
F                         C
And if you waste it all dying to go
Em
Then you miss all the moments
Am                 Em
You'll be missing most
F                      C
And I'm not begging to do it again
Em                            Am                Em
But I love all my friends and I wrote this for them

[Chorus]
F
'Cause I miss this place
C
And I love these walls
Em
'Cause the world's so big
Am             Em
And I feel so small
F
I'll be catching planes
C
And I'm scared of change
Em                F C Em Am
But I love this place

[Outro]
              C*
I love this place
