Intro
[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
[G]
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride.
Pre-Chorus
[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.
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
[F]
Maybe the end is near
But I've been waiting all year
[G]
To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
[F]
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
[C]
Off of all the things that I've taken and
[G]
Maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking
[F] [C]
From the city of the 915
[G]
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
[F]
All my boys are with me
[C]
Going up for the night
[G]
But who cares, who cares
[F]
'Cause this is our year
