[Verse 1]
           G 
Living the good life full of goodbyes
   C 
My eyes are on the grey skies
       Bm                    D 
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
          G                  
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
   C 
I don't even remember
         Bm                               D 
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

[Pre-Chorus]
                  G              C 
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
               Bm               
Where all the girls are pretty
             D 
And they're down for the hype
                 G 
All my boys are with me
      C 
Going up for the night
         Bm         D 
But who cares, who cares 
                         G      
'Cause this is our year

[Chorus]
           C            Bm 
So wake me up in the spring
           D                      G 
While I'm high off my American dream
G                            C 
We don't always say what we mean
            Bm                 D 
That's the lie of an American teen

[Verse 2]
G 
Maybe the end is near
                C 
But I've been waiting all year
            Bm 
To get the hell up out of here
     D   
And throw away my fears
G 
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
       C 
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
Bm 
Maybe I'm not really drunk
            D 
Maybe I'm really good at faking

[Pre-Chorus]
                  G              C 
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
               Bm               
Where all the girls are pretty
             D 
And they're down for the hype
                 G 
All my boys are with me
      C 
Going up for the night
         Bm         D 
But who cares, who cares 
                         G      
'Cause this is our year

[Chorus]
           C            Bm 
So wake me up in the spring
           D                      G 
While I'm high off my American dream
G                            C 
We don't always say what we mean
            Bm                 D 
That's the lie of an American teen

[Bridge]
G      C                        Bm           
  My youth is the foundation of me
        D                   G 
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
C             Bm 
    American teen
      D    
Mmm, oh yeah
G      C                           Bm 
       We don't always say what we mean
            D                      G      
When we're high off our American teen
    C                          Bm 
My youth is the foundation of me
         D                          G 
Oh, I'm proud to be American


[Chorus]
C                              Bm 
       So wake me up in the spring
           D                    G  
While I'm high off my American (American dream)
    C                            Bm 
And we don't always say what we mean
          D                  G 
It's the lie of an American teen
     C                         Bm 
My youth is the foundation of me
        D                   G 
Living life as an American teen
           C               Bm           D      
American teen (American teen)

[Outro]
G C             Bm          D    G  C 
     American Teenager
                          Bm               D 
And I'll be living this dream with you

[Chant]
G                             C 
We don't always say what we mean
           Bm             D    
When we're high off our American teen
G    C                        Bm 
My youth is the foundation of me
          D 
Oh, I'm proud to be American
