American Teenager

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

G               D
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
A                                        C9
When the lights go out and I'm all alone again

D
Say what you want
                                      G
But say it like you mean it with your fists for once
                          A
A long cold war with your kids at the front
                                       G
Just give it one more day, then you'rе done

Done

D
I do what I want
                              G
Crying in the blеachers 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 out here

Sunday morning
D
Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
G
I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted
A                       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, why do
                     G
I feel alone in this room with you?

G             D
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
A
When the lights go out
                       C9
But I'm still standing here

D
Say what you want
                                      G
But say it like you mean it with your fists for once
                          A
A long cold war with your kids at the front
                                       G
Just give it one more day, then you're done

Done

D
I do what I want
                              G
Crying in the bleachers 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 out here

D
Say what you want
                                      G

                          A
A long cold war with your kids at the front
                                       G
Just give it one more day, then you'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
