American Kids

Chords
pin

[Verse 1]
  Ab  
I live under a rock with a blacklight
Fm
I'm a dumb pop star in my own right
        Ab
Started life at age 15, got ahead with fake ID's
               C#
If you're with me

Ab
Sold my soul to the man with a handshake
Fm
Lost control but I don't think it's too late
Ab
We're dying young on broadcast news
                                Fm
Forever 21 is cool if I make it

[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Girls, let's put on all of our clothes

[Chorus]
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
I am not on drugs and I've never been
        C#
I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody

Ab 
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C#
I'm not down with the new hit
        D#                        Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids

[Verse 2]
Ab
Last time I told mom that 'I love you'
         Fm
Was the last time I ate food from a drive-through
          Ab
It never happened like they say
                                         Fm          
I think my father may be gay but I don't know

   Ab
So I burned all my shit in a bonfire
Fm
All my teen regrets were a trip wire
             Ab
I should be everything you hate
                                           Fm
I should be higher now than space but I'm static

[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Boys, aren't even boys anymore

[Chorus]
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
I am not on drugs and I've never been
        C#
I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody

Ab 
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C#
I'm not down with the new hit
        D#                        Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids

[Bridge]
Ab              
Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free
Fm              
I'm a millennial blame it all on me

[Outro]
Ab
American kids x3

[fade]
