American Teenager

[Intro] D  G  D
        D  G  A  G

[First Part]

D                                 
  Grew up under yellow light on 
  G
the street
Putting too much faith in the 
        A
make-believe
And another high school football 
G
team
D
  The neighbor's brother came home 
in a box
       G                           
But he wanted to go, so maybe it 
      A
was his fault
Another red heart taken by the 
         G
American dream

[Pre-Chorus]

       G       Bm
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
          A
When the lights go out

And I'm all alone again

[Chorus]

D
Say what you want

But say it like you mean it
           G
With your fists for once, a long 
Cold War
          A
With your kids at the front
                      Bm
Just give it one more day
             G
Then you'rе done, done
  D
I do what I want

Crying in the blеachers
Continues after the ad
       G
And I said it was fun
                           A
I don't need anything from anyone
                 G
It's just not my year

But I'm all good

[Second Part]

D
Sunday morning
G
Hands over my knees in a room full 
of faces
          A
I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was 
probably wasted

(Probably wasted)
     G
And didn't feel so good (Didn't feel
 so good)
D
Head full of whiskey but I always 
deliver
G
Jesus, if you're listening let me 
handle my liquor
     A
And Jesus, if you're there
                             G
Why do I feel alone in this room 
with you?

[Pre-Chorus]

       G       Bm
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
          A
When the lights go out

But I’m still standing here

[Chorus]

D
Say what you want

But say it like you mean it
           G
With your fists for once, a long 
Cold War
          A
With your kids at the front
                      Bm
Just give it one more day
             G
Then you'rе done, done
  D
I do what I want

Crying in the blеachers
       G
And I said it was fun
                           A
I don't need anything from anyone
                 G
It's just not my year
                     D
But I'm all good out here

[Outro]

 D
(Say what you want

But say it like you mean it)
           G
With your fists for once, a long 
Cold War
          A
With your kids at the front
                      Bm
Just give it one more day
             G
Then we’re done
  D
I do it for my daddy and I do it for
 Dale
     G
I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm 
doing it well
    A
For me, for me
    G
For me, for me

( D  G  A  G )
