Khalid - American Teen: chords

            F
Living the good life full of goodbyes
C/E
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?
C/E
I don't even remember
         G
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

                  F              C/E
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
                  C
Going up for the night
         G
But who cares, who cares
                    F  C/E
'Cause this is our year

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

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

From the city of the 9-1-5
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are with me
Going up for the night
But who cares, who cares
'Cause this is our year

Chorus

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

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

American Teenager
And I'll be living this dream with you

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