[Verse 1]
Living the [F]good life full of goodbyes
[C]My eyes are on the grey skies
Saying [G]I don't want to come home tonight
Yeah, and I'm [F]high up, off what?
[C]I don't even remember
But my [G]friend passed out in the Uber ride
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm from the [F]city of the 9-1-[C]5
Where all the girls are [G]pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are [F]with me
Going up for the [C]night
But who [G]cares, who cares
'Cause this is our [F]year[C]
[Chorus]
So wake me up in the [G]spring
While I'm high off my American [F]dream[C]
We don't always say what we [G]mean
That's the lie of an American teen
[Verse 2]
[F]Maybe the end is near
[C]But I've been waiting all year
[G]To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
I'm so [F]faded (I'm so faded)
Off of [C]all the things that I've taken, and
[G]Maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking
[Pre-Chorus]
From the [F]city of the 9-1-[C]5
Where all the girls are [G]pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are [F]with me
Going up for the [C]night
But who [G]cares, who cares
'Cause this is our [F]year[C]
[Chorus]
So wake me up in the [G]spring
While I'm high off my American [F]dream[C]
We don't always say what we [G]mean
That's the lie of an American teen F
[Bridge]
My [C]youth is the foundation of [G]me
Living life as an American [F]teen (American[C] teen)
American [G]teen
Mmm, oh [F]yeah
[C]We don't always say what we [G]mean
When we're high off our American [F]teen

Oh, I'm proud to be American[F][C]
[Chorus]
So wake me up in the [G]spring
While I'm high off my America[F]n (American dream)
