Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
      G+G
Living the good life full of goodbyes
  C majorC
My eyes are on the grey skies
    B minorBm          D MajorD
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
     G+G
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
  C majorC
I don't even remember
     B minorBm                D MajorD
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

Pre-Chorus:
         G+G       C majorC
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
        B minorBm
Where all the girls are pretty
       D MajorD
And they're down for the hype
         G+G
All my boys are with me
   C majorC
Going up for the night
     B minorBm     D MajorD
But who cares, who cares
             G+G
'Cause this is our year

Chorus:
      C majorC      B minorBm
So wake me up in the spring
      D MajorD           G+G
While I'm high off my American dream
G+G              C majorC
We don't always say what we mean
      B minorBm         D MajorD
That's the lie of an American teen

Verse 2:
G+G
Maybe the end is near
        C majorC
But I've been waiting all year
      B minorBm
To get the hell up out of here
   D MajorD
And throw away my fears
G+G
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
    C majorC
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
B minorBm
Maybe I'm not really drunk
      D MajorD
Maybe I'm really good at faking

Pre-Chorus:
         G+G       C majorC
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
        B minorBm
Where all the girls are pretty
       D MajorD
And they're down for the hype
         G+G
All my boys are with me
   C majorC
Going up for the night
     B minorBm     D MajorD
But who cares, who cares
             G+G
'Cause this is our year
