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 But say it like you mean it with your fist for once 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
