Everybody here always said

The kids grow up too fast

I've been living in the basement

Waiting for my chance to grow out of it

But I can't

In the basement with my friends

Go to work and play pretend

In the cold suburbs of Minnesota

Making loose ends meet
C6add4
All the money's locked up tight
Gm Gm
Behind another trust fund kid
C6add4
Out of sight and out of mind
Gm Gm
Out of opportunities
C6add4
I wouldn't call it purgatory
Gm Gm
But it might as well be
C6add4
Gm Gm C6add4
Teenagers forever
Gm Gm C6add4
Teenagers forever
Gm Gm C6add4
Teenagers forever
Gm Gm C6add4
Teenagers forever
