American Teen Ukulele Chords

[Verse 1]
             F
Living the good life full of goodbyes
     Em
My eyes are on the grey skies
            G
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
  C              F
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
 Em
I don't even remember
          G
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 C                F             Em
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
                  Em
Going up for the night
          G
But who cares, who cares
                         Em
'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
                         C      F
That's the lie of an American teen
 
 
[Verse 2]
  F
Maybe the end is near
                 Em
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)
        Em
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
  G
Maybe I'm not really drunk
 
Maybe I'm really good at faking
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 C                F             Em
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
                  Em
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
                         C      F
That's the lie of an American  
 
 
That's the lie of an American
 
My youth is the foundation of me
          C                  F
Oh, I'm proud to be American
 
[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
                         C      F
That's the lie of an American teen
     Em                       G
My youth is the foundation of me
                             F
Living life as an American teen
            C              G
American teen (American teen)
 
 
[Outro]
C              G   F
American Teenager
Em            C           G
And I'll be living this dream with you
 
 
[Chant]
 E  Cm                       Gm
We don't always say what we mean
             C
When we're high off our American teen
                     Em       G
My youth is the foundation of me
                           C
Oh, I'm proud to be American
