[Intro]

[Verse]
C F                            C       
■ Living the good life full of goodbyes
Em7         C                
My eyes are on the grey skies
               G                      
Saying I don't wanna come home tonight
Gsus4                    C   
Yeah and I'm high up off what
C                    
I don't even remember
G                                        
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
       F                              Em7          
Oh I'm from the city of the nineminus oneminus five
C             G               
Where all the girls are pretty
                         Gsus4
And they're down for the hype 
       F               
All my boys are with me
         Em7     C    
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


[Verse]
F                    
Maybe the end is near
Em                            
But I've been waitin' all year
G                             
To get the hell up out of here
          Gsus4        
And throw away my fears
G      F    
I'm so faded
Em                              G        
Off of all the things that I've taken and
G                         
Maybe I'm not really drunk
G                              
Maybe I'm really good at faking
F                              C        Em7 
From the city of the nineminus oneminus five
              G               
Where all the girls are pretty
                 G           
And they're down for the hype
Gsus4      F               
And all my boys are with me
         Em7           Em
Going up for the night ■
