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
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

                  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

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
        F
And throw away my fears

I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
                   G
Off of all the things that I've taken and
         F
Maybe I'm not really drunk
                 G
Maybe I'm really good at faking
           F
From the city of the 915

It's the life of an American teen (American teen)
C                             G
My youth is the foundation of me
