[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
[Chorus]
C                    G
So wake me up in the Spring

It's the life of an American teen (American teen)

My youth is the foundation of me
